EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the iconic figure of Giuseppe Garibaldi (1807-1882), the Italian patriot and soldier who played a pivotal role in the Risorgimento, the movement for Italian unification. Born in Nice, then part of the Kingdom of Sardinia, Garibaldi joined the Carbonari, a secret society dedicated to Italian independence, at a young age. He gained fame for leading the Expedition of the Thousand, a volunteer army that landed in Sicily in 1860 and successfully overthrew the Bourbon monarchy, paving the way for the unification of Italy under King Victor Emmanuel II. In this photograph, taken in 1882, Garibaldi is depicted in military uniform, his steely gaze fixed on the horizon, a testament to his unwavering commitment to the Italian cause. The image captures the essence of Garibaldi's legendary status as a hero of the Italian people, a symbol of their struggle for freedom and self-determination. Garibaldi's political career was marked by his advocacy for radical democratic reforms and his opposition to the monarchy. He served as a deputy in the Italian Parliament and was instrumental in the establishment of the short-lived Roman Republic in 1849. Despite his controversial political views, Garibaldi remained a beloved figure in Italian history, revered for his military prowess and his unwavering commitment to the Italian cause. This photograph is a poignant reminder of Garibaldi's enduring legacy as a symbol of Italian patriotism and a champion of democratic ideals. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of political upheaval and social change, when the Italian people were fighting for their freedom and their place in the world.
