Bombing of Udine

Bombing of Udine

On a starry winter’s night, a yellow glow is visible on the horizon, accompanied by bursts of anti-aircraft fire and tracers. Naked mulberry trees are visible in the distance.

Label reads “212”; signed by the author; caption reads “20 GENNAIO 1945. Il centro cittadino di UDINE bombardato nelle prime ore della notte, visto da S. Giorgio di Nogaro.”

Caption translates as: “20 January 1945. The city centre of UDINE being bombed at early night hours, as seen from San Giorgio di Nogaro.”
