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.
