Giuseppe Garibaldi (1807-1882) was an Italian general, nationalist, and key figure in the unification of Italy. Born in Nice, he initially pursued a career at sea, which exposed him to revolutionary ideas. In the 1830s, he joined the Young Italy movement led by Giuseppe Mazzini, advocating for Italian unification.
Garibaldi’s military prowess was first demonstrated in South America, where he supported independence movements in Brazil and Uruguay. Returning to Italy in 1848, he played a crucial role in various uprisings and wars of independence. His most notable achievement came in 1860 with the Expedition of the Thousand, where he led a volunteer force to conquer the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, significantly advancing the cause of Italian unification.
Renowned for his charisma, red shirt, and guerrilla warfare tactics, Garibaldi became a symbol of revolutionary fervor and national unity. His efforts laid the foundation for the establishment of a unified Italy in 1871, earning him the title “Hero of Two Worlds” for his impact in both Europe and South America.
