EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Giuseppe Garibaldi on Horseback: A Symbol of Unification in Late 19th Century Sicily" This evocative black and white lantern slide captures the image of Italian general and politician, Giuseppe Garibaldi, atop his horse in a triumphant pose against the backdrop of Sicily's breathtaking landscape. Dating back to the 1890s, this Victorian lantern slide (Slide number 3 of Box 106) offers a glimpse into the rich history of Italy's unification movement. Garibaldi (1807-1882) was a pivotal figure in Italian history, renowned for his military prowess and unwavering commitment to the cause of Italian unification. Born in Nice, then part of the Kingdom of Sardinia, Garibaldi spent much of his life fighting for the Italian peninsula's independence from foreign powers. His most famous campaign was the Expedition of the Thousand, which saw him leading a volunteer army to conquer Sicily and southern Italy in 1860. The statue depicted in this image stands as a testament to Garibaldi's achievements and the impact he had on Sicily and the broader Italian unification movement. The horse and rider are poised and proud, their silhouettes starkly contrasted against the Sicilian sky. The rugged terrain and the sun-kissed hills in the background further emphasize the strength and determination of Garibaldi and his followers. This lantern slide serves as a powerful reminder of the tumultuous late 19th century in Sicily and the crucial role that figures like Garibaldi played in shaping the course of Italian history.
