EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a pivotal moment in Italian history as Giuseppe Garibaldi's Redshirts, part of the National Army, make their landing at Marina di Palmi, Calabria in August 1860. The Redshirts, known for their distinctive red shirts, were volunteers from various European countries who joined Garibaldi in his campaign to unify Italy under a single government. The rugged shoreline of Calabria, with its rocky outcroppings and little boats bobbing in the water, serves as the backdrop for this historic event. The Redshirts, having sailed across the Mediterranean from Sicily, disembarked here to begin their march north towards Naples and the eventual unification of Italy. The date of August 1860 marks a turning point in Italian history, as Garibaldi's successful invasion of the southern regions of Italy paved the way for the eventual unification of the country under the House of Savoy in 1861. This image provides a glimpse into the past, offering a visual representation of the courage and determination of the Redshirts and their leader, Garibaldi, as they set foot on Italian soil with the goal of bringing about a new era of Italian unity and independence. The photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique perspective on this significant historical event, allowing us to connect with the past and appreciate the importance of this moment in Italian history.
