EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a powerful Italian propaganda poster from 1942, titled "Tacete, il nemico vi ascolta" or "Silence, the enemy listens". The illustration was created by renowned artist Gino Boccasile (1901-1952), known for his influential work during the mid-20th century. The poster depicts a striking image of an Italian soldier with his finger to his lips, urging silence. The message is clear: in times of war, one must be cautious about what they say as the enemy is always listening. Boccasile's artistic style shines through in this piece, showcasing his ability to convey emotion and capture attention. During this period in Italy's history, fascism was on the rise under Benito Mussolini's leadership. Propaganda played a significant role in promoting nationalistic ideals and encouraging support for the regime. This particular poster aimed to instill fear among Italians while emphasizing the importance of secrecy and vigilance against their enemies. The print itself has been expertly captured by Leonard de Selva, highlighting every detail of Boccasile's intricate illustration. It serves as a reminder of both the historical context surrounding World War II and the power that art can have in shaping public opinion. Overall, this photograph offers viewers a glimpse into Italy's wartime past while showcasing Gino Boccasile's talent as an artist and propagandist.
