Image Dimensions: 14.5 x 15 cm The Catholic Glories is an original work realized in 1907 by a Great Italian artist. The work depicts a lot of people that are bringing crowns of flowers. The work has been realize by the Italian cartoonist, painter and drawer Bruno Angoletta (Belluno, 1889 - 1954). For some years he studied law in Padua, but later abandoned his studies to entirely focusing into drawing and painting as an autodidact. In late 1900s he started a collaboration as an illustrator with the satirical weekly magazine L'Asino, then he moved to Rome where he also began to collaborate with the magazine La tribuna illustrata. At the outbreak of the First World War, despite his pericarditis, he volunteered, was wounded and taken prisoner in Bohemia but even performed acts of heroism that earned him two decorations. In 1921, he founded with Antonio Beltramelli the monthly children magazine Giro Giro Tondo, published by Mondadori. In January 1928, in the pages of Corriere dei Piccoli, Angoletta started his most successful comic character, the soldier Marmittone, a mild-mannered young soldier who often, due to its mild-tempered and not inclined to war, ends up being punished and translated into the cell. The comic strip was published until 1940. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
