Picture of the Day 
Bueno Americano, No Bueno Tedeski
Acrylic on masonite, 24' x 36"
Today, April 25, is Liberation Day for the nation and peoples of Italy as the country celebrates the end of World War II. This feast of freedom was made possible by the arrival of Allied soldiers. Many Americans gave their lives to give Italy this gift. According to my father-in-law, the Italians lined the streets and were shouting, "Bueno Americano, No Bueno Tedeski" as the Americans passed through. I painted this image in honor of my father-in-law for who had spent three and a half years a long ways from home. His diaries and photos have become a book, titled, And There Shall Be Wars, currently available from Savage Press.

Thank you Ed for your post on Italy's Liberation Day. Mario from Racconigi, the small town in Piedmont, Northern Italy, where Bud spent some days in june '45 before getting home, after giving us a newer Europe.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mario, for your continued friendship. May we ever remember the price of that freedom.
