Finalmente!! (At Last!!), Italia with two kneeling women
A crowned, sword-bearing Italia with a Savoy cross on her breast reaches toward two women, one in red kneeling and one in green leaning on her, while aeroplanes and advancing troops fill the sky behind. The classical personification of the nation is set to receive the two women, so that a territorial claim reads as a rescue.
