Title (Dublin Core)

Handkerchief with patriotic slogan

Description (Dublin Core)

A red nearly square piece of red silk taffeta, with a ivory-white cross in the middle, ornate with a long slogan in red words shared on the 4 equal arms of the cross.
On one line (two adjacent arms) we read "[left side]: FIGLI TUTTI D'ITALIA NOI SIAMO, / FORTI E LIBERI IL BRACCIO E LA MENTE - [right side]: PIU' CHE MORTE I TIRANNI ABBORRIAMO, / ABBORRIAM PIU' CHE MORTE IL SERVIR,"
On the second line (other two adjacent arms) we read "[left side]: NOI SIAM FIGLI E GODIAMO OBBEDIR - [right side]: MA DEL SIR CHE CI REGGE CLEMENTE" (this slogan is part of the song "Inno al Re Carlo Alberto" by Giuseppe Bertoldi [1]).
At the four corners of the object a black (or Savoia blue?) cockade with a white saltire inside.
