During the years of the First World War Gabriele D'Annunzio coined the term "War Blacksmiths" to indicate the workers of the Ansaldine. We can see how much the term was supported by Ansaldo and how much it had spread in the collective imagination through the propaganda poster presented here and created by Giuseppe Palanti (1881-1946) painter, illustrator and teacher of the chair of decoration of the Higher School of the Academy of Brera. The poster dates back to 1918, bearing the share capital of Ansaldo, and is part of the sector of various advertisements in support of the war effort in our country.
