One of the most iconic photographs of the Spanish Civil War in Barcelona taken by Antoni Campaña1906-1989 coloured by Julius

Antoni Campañà, a native of Catalonia, documented the conflict that raged between 1936 and 1939 by taking thousands of photographs. Using his Leica camera, he captured iconic images of militia members, including a young woman smiling while holding up a flag of the anarchist labor union confederation CNT in the middle of Barcelona's La Rambla. This image became emblematic of the war after it was disseminated by the CNT, but Campañà did not receive recognition for it until 2019, as he was not considered a Civil War photographer at the time.

Following the war, Antoni hid all his work because he was upset by the way the regime of Spanish dictator Francisco Franco used it for propaganda and repression purposes. The new regime used some of his photographs as evidence of crimes committed by the war's losers.

What is truly remarkable is that Antoni Campañà's collection of photographs documenting the war remained concealed for many years inside two red boxes in the garage of a house that was soon to be sold. Despite his death in 1989, he never disclosed the existence of these boxes to his family, and it was only by chance that one of his grandchildren discovered the trove of images. This discovery represents a valuable and significant addition to Spain's photographic archives of the era.

One of the most iconic photographs of the Spanish Civil in Barcelona A police officer is pictured shooting his rifle from behind a barricade of dead horses in Barcelona, on July 19, 1936 - just a few hours after the beginning of the military uprising that led to the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). The shot was taken by Agustí Centelles.

The photo caption, however, only talked about "a man behind a barricade" and "a defender of the Republic." Now we know that his name was Mariano Vitini, and that Centelles' children, Sergi and Octavi, have given a copy of the famous photo to Vitini's daughter and grandchildren, 75 years after the event, at the very same spot where it was taken.

Mariano did not like to talk about the war. "He always said it had cost him two brothers." José and Luis were executed by Francoist forces in 1944 and 1945. The first was 33 and after fighting in Spain, he also fought the N***s in World War II. After the liberation of France, he returned to Spain to try to help do the same here, but was arrested for organizing an attack against a Falange delegation in Madrid and was executed at Carabanchel penitentiary. Luis was 21 and tried to follow in his brother's footsteps. He was also caught, while breaking into a beer factory to obtain funds for weapons, and was executed after a court-martial at Camp de la Bota. Both brothers have a street named after them in Paris.
