Extra History

Hero of Two Worlds (175x1)

:

As French shells rain down on Rome, Giuseppe Garibaldi stands resolute before his troops, in his iconic sombrero and poncho. He's leading the defense of Rome and has become legendary, by fearlessly smoking on the city walls as snipers aim at him and hosting dinner parties where guests fall to artillery shrapnel. But his dream of a united independent Italy didn't begin here, but on a small merchant vessel when he was young.
