caption: END OF THE WORLD "A grotesque episode of exaltation. At the Pavillon du Mont Fréty, above Courmayeur (Aosta) a group of fanatics, headed by Dr. Elio Bianca, awaits the end of the world. Walter Molino reconstructs the scene that - according to the predictions of the ridiculous Messiah - it should precede the catastrophe that will save, however, the Bianca and her followers. While the fake Santone, in a prophetic attitude, prays, the images of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse appear in the sky ". The credulous sectarians rose to 2000 meters to escape the flood. Drawing by Walter Molino (5 November 1915 - 8 December 1997) for the cover of "La Domenica del Corriere". Milan, 17 July 1960
