EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Mussolini, shirtless under the sun, threshed the wheat of Agro Pontino after twenty centuries. . " captures a powerful moment in history. Beltrame's color lithograph depicts Benito Mussolini, Italy's fascist leader, working tirelessly under the scorching sun to revive and redeem the abandoned fields of Agro Pontino. The image symbolizes Mussolini's determination to restore prosperity and national pride to Italy through his fascist regime. With his bare chest glistening in the sunlight, he embodies strength and resilience as he personally takes on the task of harvesting wheat that had been neglected for two millennia. The four-hour endeavor took place in Aprilia, Littoria, Pontinia, and Sabaudia amidst an atmosphere of enthusiasm from the Italian people. This illustration originally appeared in Courier Sunday on July 17th, 1938. Through this propaganda piece, Mussolini aimed to showcase his leadership skills while promoting nationalism and fascism. The image highlights not only Mussolini's physical prowess but also his dedication to improving agricultural production for Italy's food supply. Beltrame's skillful depiction captures both the beauty of the countryside and Mussolini's charismatic presence. It serves as a reminder of a significant chapter in Italian history when politics intertwined with everyday life. This print is part of a private collection but remains an important historical artifact that sheds light on Mussolini's populist appeal during this era.
