Garibaldi

The hero of the wars that led to the unification of Italy was Giuseppe Garibaldi. In every city of substance in Italy, you’ll probably find a statue of him – maybe more than one, or a statue, a plaque, and a bust of him – as well as a street or other landmark named after him; perhaps a school even. In fact, there’s a statue of him in Washington Square in New York. He lived in NY for four years.

Garibaldi was the commander of the troops that started from Piemonte (i.e., Piedmont), sailed to Sicily and began conquering the many duchies, republics, city states and so forth until he had conquered all of them. When he was finished, he had created the nation of Italy and gave it to Vittorio Emanuele II for him to be its monarch.

Note

I despise having blank pages like this. When I get the money, I’ll search for these stamps and buy them. For now, you can see how they look on my Garibaldi page in my Italy Kingdom album. The only difference is that instead of saying Poste Italiane at the bottom, they say Poste Coloniali Italiane for the colony stamps.
