GIUSEPPE GARIBALDI

political and industrial leaders on
his plans for a unified Italy.

as true idealist and honest politician.

aged 75 in Caprerra on

As well as fighting to try and unify Italy, he also fought in several countries in South America where there were also campaigns to unify those countries.
