EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic moment in the lives of four adventurous Milanese boys. Armed with fishing lines and a single candle, their curiosity led them to descend into the depths of a city sewer through a trap door. Little did they know what awaited them beneath. As they ventured deeper into the darkness, their playful fishing game quickly turned into an unexpected rescue mission. The boys found themselves surrounded by big rats scurrying about, adding an eerie element to their already bizarre situation. However, fate took another twist when their only source of light - the candle - suddenly went out. Left reeling in complete darkness, these unfortunate young souls called out for help for hours on end. Thankfully, their cries reached the ears of concerned citizens who rushed to save them from this perilous underground world. With great relief and gratitude, the boys were finally rescued from their subterranean ordeal. This extraordinary image serves as a reminder that even in moments of childhood playfulness and exploration, unforeseen dangers can lurk just beneath our feet. It also highlights the power of community and compassion as strangers come together to lend a helping hand in times of need. Beltrame's vivid illustration for Courier Sunday on 2nd October 1932 beautifully captures both the excitement and trepidation experienced by these brave Italian children during this unforgettable adventure below ground level.
