Descriptive Note Text

This patriotic postcard reproduces a successful image by artist Adolfo De Carolis (or Karolis). three muscular male nudes, holding symbolic objects. The man in the middle looks towards the sky as he holds the Italian flag.  On his left and slightly behind him another man carries, in one hand, the "caduceo alato" symbol of peace and commerce, and, in the other, the statue of Niké (Wnged Victory). The third man holds work tools, held together with olive branches, another nod to the power of labor, peace, and victory. The background shows a panoramic view of Turin, the river Po, and the Dome of the iconic Mole Antonelliana.
