EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - Frederick Barbarossa, the Holy Roman Emperor, being wounded at the Battle of Legnano in 1176. The image, taken by Scarpelli Tancredi (1866-1937), is part of a private collection and was originally created as an illustration for Paolo Giudici's "Storia d'Italia" in 1930. In this dramatic scene, we witness the great emperor falling victim to his enemies during one of Italy's most significant conflicts. The Lombard League, comprised of various Italian city-states including Milan, successfully resisted Barbarossa's attempts to assert control over their territories. This battle marked a turning point in Italian history and showcased the resilience and determination of its people. The wounded Barbarossa lies on the battlefield with his injured limb prominently displayed. Surrounding him are figures representing medicine and healthcare - symbols of hope amidst the chaos of war. Asclepius, the Greek god associated with healing and medicine, stands nearby as a reminder that even powerful rulers like Barbarossa are vulnerable to injury. This photograph not only highlights an important historical event but also serves as a testament to human strength and endurance. It reminds us that even leaders can be brought down by physical ailments or wounds inflicted on them during times of conflict. Through this image, we gain insight into both the fragility and resilience inherent within our shared humanity.
