Historical context: Giovanni Capranesi's design for Italy's sixth national loan (1920) frames a map of the peninsula, covered in a swarm of bees, inside a garlanded classical arch with roses at its base. The bees symbolise the industrious savers whose contributions would rebuild the country after the First World War.
