Summary[edit]

Description
English: This engraving is a political caricature in the form of a parody of the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth, signed G[abriele] Castagnola and printed in the Genoese republican and Mazzinian satirical journal La Strega on Holy Thursday, 1850. The personification of Italy, identified by her mural crown, takes the place of Jesus. The two thieves are played by Carlo Alberto (the previous King of Sardinia, on the viewer’s left) and Ferdinand II of the Two Sicilies. Garibaldi sits at Italy’s feet; Mazzini stands next to him. Longinus is portrayed as Pius IX on horseback, and the soldier offering the sponge soaked in vinegar is La Marmora. Franz Joseph, Emperor of Austria, carries a hammer and a basket of nails. Cavour and Rattazzi play at dice for Italia’s clothes.
Italiano: Visione satirica della situazione politica italiana nel marzo 1850, raffigurata con una allegoria della crocifissione di Cristo. L'Italia turrita crocifissa, affiancata dai "ladroni" Carlo Alberto di Savoia (sx) e Ferdinando II di Borbone (dx), viene abbeverata con il fiele dal "legionario" Alfonso La Marmora ed è in procinto di essere ferita al costato dalla lancia del "centurione" Pio IX. Ai piedi della croce, pregano le "pie donne" Giuseppe Mazzini (sx) e Giuseppe Garibaldi (dx), mentre i "giudei" Urbano Rattazzi (sx) e Camillo Benso di Cavour (dx) si giocano ai dadi le spoglie dei condannati. Il re Vittorio Emanuele II, con la corona e vestito da giullare, porta il martello e i chiodi per completare l'opera.
