Giuseppe Garibaldi, a prominent figure in Italian history, was known for his bravery and determination in the fight for Italian unification. In the famous painting "Garibaldi on Horseback, 1860, " he is depicted as a fearless leader riding into battle, symbolizing his unwavering commitment to the cause. Another engraving titled "Garibaldi at Rome, 1849" captures him during the Siege of Rome, showcasing his strategic prowess. One remarkable event was when the Zouaves charged forward with bayonets to capture a barricade. This daring act exemplified Garibaldi's revolutionary spirit and inspired others to join the cause. He even assisted Victor Emmanuel II in putting on Italy's symbolic boot in 1860, signifying their shared vision of a unified nation. However, not everyone supported Garibaldi's endeavors. A cartoon called "Poor Taxpayer. . . Thank the Empire" criticized the cost of wars during France's Second Empire period (1852-1870), highlighting how these conflicts impacted ordinary citizens. Garibaldi's legacy lives on through various artistic representations like marble busts and oil paintings such as "Redshirts. " Additionally, statues erected in places like Nice pay tribute to this influential figure who played an essential role in shaping Italy's history. A significant moment occurred during The Risorgimento when Victor Emmanuel II met with Giuseppe Garibaldi at Teano on October 26th, 1860. This meeting symbolized their collaboration towards achieving Italian unification and marked a turning point in their shared struggle. The Battle of Mentana fought on November 3rd, 1867 further demonstrated Garibaldi's dedication to his ideals. Depicted vividly through an oil painting from 1884, it showcased his involvement amidst intense conflict.
