Villa Amendola 1918

Achille Beltrame’s 1918 painting “Villa Amendola” depicts a woman standing on a rooftop holding the Italian flag aloft. The scene evokes the spirit of patriotism and resilience during the First World War. The woman’s stance and the tattered flag symbolize strength and hope amidst the destruction of war. Beltrame’s work captures the emotional impact of the war on the Italian people and is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during this challenging time.
