Con l’armata dell’Ebro morire oggi - G. Ceronetti
€100.00
A poem by Guido Ceronetti dedicated to the Battle on the Ebro River (July 25, 1938), the last offensive effort by the Republican Army. The National Air Force played a decisive role in the counterattack, and by mid-November of that year, it was all over.
The following historic figures are the protagonists of the poem: Tina Modotti, the celebrated beauty from Friuli, Vittorio Vidali's last partner, who took care of the wounded in Madrid hospitals; Andreu Nin, a Trotskyist communist, tortured and murdered by the Stalinists in Barcelona in May 1937; Camillo Berneri, a renowned Italian anarchist writer, arrested and shot by the Stalinists; and Federica Montsény, Minister of Health in the first Republican wartime government (1936-37), whom Ceronetti met in Paris in 1953.

***
Neither monotype nor linotype are used. These typesetting systems from a keyboard are often passed off as manual typography.
The Tallone Press does not print from plastic relief plates either. Derived from digital compositions, they are very much in vogue to simulate the effect of type impression onto the paper.
The number of movable types handled for the manual typesetting of this book, makes it an exceptional endeavor in contemporary fine printing.
Printed on very fine paper and sewn by hand, this collector’s edition is a sophisticated gift meant to last over time and designed to give the best reading experience possible.
