Lot 381: Primo Carnera in Fascist Uniform (1933)
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||
November 7, 1933 wire photo of champion boxer, Primo Carnera, on his
triumphant return to Rome. This was no ordinary hero's homecoming,
however. It occurred during a time of nationalistic fervor in Italy.
Primo is clad in a Fascist uniform and is shown saluting the crowd in
a manner that probably made Mussolini bust a button with pride. 5.5 x
6" trimmed photo is NM with original news clipping affixed to versa.
