EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the iconic figure of Giuseppe Garibaldi, the Italian nationalist leader who played a pivotal role in the Italian unification movement during the 19th century. Born in Nice, France, in 1807, Garibaldi spent much of his early life at sea as a sailor before becoming involved in various political and revolutionary causes. The image, taken by the renowned Scottish photographer John Thompson Stodart (1823-1867), captures Garibaldi in his later years, with a stern yet determined expression on his face. He is dressed in his signature red shirt, a symbol of the volunteers who fought alongside him in the Risorgimento, the Italian movement for independence, unity, and self-governance. Garibaldi's most famous military campaign took place in 1860, when he led a group of volunteers, known as the "Thousand," from Sicily to mainland Italy, ultimately contributing to the fall of the Bourbon monarchy and the unification of the country under King Victor Emmanuel II. Despite his significant contributions to Italian history, Garibaldi's life was not without controversy. He was known for his radical political views and his unconventional military tactics, which often put him at odds with more traditional leaders. However, his charisma and dedication to the cause of Italian unification made him a beloved figure among the Italian people. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of Garibaldi's enduring legacy as a symbol of Italian national pride and a champion of the people's right to self-determination. The image, taken by Stodart, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to connect with the history and the complex figure of Giuseppe Garibaldi.
