Photo album belonging to an Italian journalist who served in Ethiopia between May 15 – October 10, 1936. It begins with his voyage aboard the “Ceare Battisti”; landing in Massaua; fraternizing with local inhabitants in the desert around Zula; passing through Cheren, Agordat, Adi Ugri, before reaching Asmara on May 24. Photos of him with journalist colleagues; his “shack” with local female; mixing with local children and mothers at Decamere; what he calls his “grand adventure from Asmara to Adis Abeba, photographing local life along the way at Adigrat, Macalle, Ambaradam, Fort Galliano, Lake Ascianghi, Corbo (where he witnesses the disarming of local insurgents), Ualdia, Boru Mieda and Dessie. He must have been a VIP because he is shown with an automobile that was a gift to him offered by the Deggiac Kassa at Adigrat. Embedded with the army, he photographs Graziani saluting his troops. By September he is in Addis Abeba, leaving for Italy shortly afterwards. Importantly there are photos of him taken by famed Italian journalist Lamberti Sorrentino (who founded the newspaper Corriere Sudetiopico in East Africa. 155 well and legibly captioned photos. This is the first photo album I have seen by an Italian journalist, who was clearly fascinated by the lives of local inhabitants.
