• He died 136 years ago, on june 2nd 1882, on Caprera Island

• He contributed to Italian unification (1861) and he also fought in South America, expecially for Uruguayan Indipendence

We think Garibaldi is the best personality to represent Italy

WHY GARIBALDI IS OUR HISTORY ICON?

Garibaldi had an adventurous

life. He started working on ships

as a sailor when he was young

and he travelled and fought

around the world.

He loved Italy, and he has been

one of the most important

people for Italian indipendence

and unification. He also loved

liberty, because he fought for

other countries independence

and unification.

A lot of people in the XIX century

were racist. We can’t say the same

thing of Garibaldi: he lived abroad

and loved and respected foreign

cultures. He also married a foreigner

woman, Anita, who was Brazilian.
