The city of Rome, Italy offered this plaque to Havana, Cuba on 2 June 1982 at the occasion of the 130th anniversary of the stay in Havana of the Italian liberator Giuseppe Garibaldi.
Giuseppe Garibaldi (July 1807 in Nice – 2 June 1882 on Caprera) was an Italian general, politician and nationalist who played a large role in the history of Italy. He is considered, with Camillo Benso, Count of Cavour, Victor Emmanuel II of Italy and Giuseppe Mazzini, as one of Italy's "fathers of the fatherland".
The plaque reads:
"Giuseppe Garibaldi - En ocasion de conmemorarse el 130 aniversario de la estancia del libertador de Italia en la ciudad de la Habana la ciudad de Roma dedica este homenaje al hombre que alento la idea de la independencia de Cuba
De el escribio José Marti
"Un corazon existe en Europa Basto y ardiente en que hay lugar para todo dolor y goce humano de una patria como de una madre nacen los hombres la libertad patria humana tuvo un hijo y fue Garibaldi..."
Roma - La Habana - 2 VI 1982"
Translation:
"Giuseppe Garibaldi - On the occasion of the commemoration of the 130th anniversary of the stay of the liberator of Italy in the city of Havana, the city of Rome dedicates this tribute to the man who encouraged the idea of the independence of Cuba
From José Marti writing:
"A heart exists in Europe. It is full and ardent and has room for all human suffering and the enjoyment of a motherland as from a mother were born men, the freedom of the fatherland had a son and it is Garibaldi"
Rome - Havana - 2 VI 1982"
