EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a significant moment in Italian history, depicting Carlo Alberto presenting the sword to Vittorio Emanuele II. This detail of the fresco by Cesare Mariani is located in the Sala Della Maggioranza at the Ministry of Economy and Finance in Rome, Italy. Carlo Alberto I, also known as Charles Albert, was the King of Sardinia from 1831 to 1849. He played a crucial role in shaping modern Italy by introducing the first Italian constitution, known as the Albertine Statute. Additionally, he led his country during the First Italian War of Independence (1848-1849). Vittorio Emanuele II succeeded Carlo Alberto as King of Sardinia after his death in 1849. Under his reign, he united various regions and became the first king of a unified Italy since ancient times. His title changed from King of Sardinia to King of Italy when Italy was officially united on March 17th, 1861. Mariani's fresco beautifully depicts this pivotal moment where power and responsibility are symbolically transferred between these two influential figures. The image showcases their determination and commitment towards unifying Italy and establishing its independence. This historical artwork serves as a reminder of their contributions to Italian unity and highlights their lasting impact on shaping modern-day Italy. It stands as a testament to their vision for an independent nation that continues to inspire generations today.
