Garibaldi's entry into Naples - a sketch in the Strada di Toledo, by T. Nast, 1860. Creator: Unknown
Garibaldi's entry into Naples - a sketch in the Strada di Toledo, by T. Nast, 1860. The Toledo is the main artery of Naples, and Garibaldi traversed this magnificent street in the afternoon, on his way from the palace where he had taken up his abode to the cathedral. A correspondent thus describes the scene; "After some hours of refreshment and repose the Dictator, accompanied as before, went up the Toledo to the Duomo and back to the Palazzo again, where he remained; and this time there was more enthusiasm, and a different class of people assembled. Indeed, it was a most successful demonstration. Looking up the side streets the perspective was beautiful, for gay tricoloured flags were out from every window...the crowds continued to shout till not a sound voice could have remained in Naples. Had it not been for the exodus which has taken place during the last two months, the demonstration would have been more brilliant; but thousands of persons are either in the country or out of the kingdom". From "Illustrated London News", 1860

Garibaldi's Entry into Naples - A Grand Procession through the Strada di Toledo,
EDITORS COMMENTS
by T. Nast, 1860, captures a pivotal moment in Italian history. The sketch depicts Giuseppe Garibaldi, the legendary Italian patriot, making his triumphant entrance into Naples, the capital city of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. The Strada di Toledo, the main artery of Naples, is the backdrop of this historic event. Garibaldi, having taken up residence in the palace, made his way through the bustling streets to the city's cathedral. The scene was described by a contemporary correspondent as follows: "After some hours of refreshment and repose, the Dictator, accompanied as before, went up the Toledo to the Duomo and back to the Palazzo again, where he remained. And this time there was more enthusiasm, and a different class of people assembled." The perspective of the sketch is breathtaking, with the tricolored flags of the newly unified Italian flag waving from every window. The correspondent continued, "Looking up the side streets, the perspective was beautiful, for gay tricoloured flags were out from every window...the crowds continued to shout till not a sound voice could have remained in Naples." Unfortunately, the brilliance of the demonstration was diminished due to the exodus of thousands of people from the city during the previous months. Nevertheless, the scene captured by T. Nast in his sketch remains a testament to the passion and enthusiasm of the Italian people for their new leader and their desire for a unified Italy. This evocative image, taken from the "Illustrated London News" in 1860, offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in Italian history, as Garibaldi made his way through the streets of Naples, embraced by the people and the tricolor flag, symbolizing the unity and hope for a new future for the Italian peninsula.
