EDITORS COMMENTS
La Breccia, or Porta Pia, in Rome, Italy, stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of this ancient city. This photograph, taken circa 1910, captures the gate in the Aurelian Walls, named after Pope Pius IV, adorned with war memorials and wreaths. The gate holds great historical importance as it was through this breach in the walls that Bersaglieri soldiers entered Rome on September 20, 1870, completing the unification of Italy. The unification of Italy, a long-awaited goal for many Italians, marked the end of the Papal States and the beginning of a modern, united Italian nation. The memorials and wreaths placed at La Breccia serve as a commemoration of the soldiers who played a crucial role in this pivotal moment in Italian history. The gate, with its intricate design and historical significance, stands as a symbol of Italian heritage and pride.
