Garibaldi (Italy) Garibaldi (Argentina) [FONT='Times New Roman']Giuseppe Garibaldi, the Italian patriot; born 1807 at Nice, died 1882 at Coprera. Joining in the unsuccessful revolutionary movements in northern Italy of 1834, he was condemned to death, but fled into exile, and served in the fleet of the Bey of Tunis for two years, after which he went to Rio de Janeiro and fought for the Republic of Monte Video. Returning to Italy in 1848, he became the leader of a body of irregular troops during the struggle with Austria, and greatly distinguished himself. Arrested in 1849, he once more went into exile until 1853. In 1859 on war breaking out between King Victor Emmanuel and Austria, the former appointed him General in command of the Alpine rifles. But in 1860 already Garibaldi went to head the insurrectionary movement in Sicily. Landing at Marsala with 1000 men, the insurgents soon reinforced him, and driving the Neapolitan troops out of the island, proclaimed he Dicator of Sicily. From these he went to Naples, which he entered in triumph, captured Capua, and attacked the strong lines on the Volturno, which had been occupied by the Neapolitans. Here the Sardinian army joined him, and Garbaldi, having hailed victor Emmanuel “King of Italy.” Re-entered Naples at his side. Defeated in an expedition against Calabria, he was made prisoner at Aspromonte in 1862, but after a short detention at Spezia, was set at liberty and retired to the island of Caprera, which he had purchased in 1855. In 1866 he fought against the Austrians, but was foiled by the Italian Government in an attempt to take Rome. In 1867 he made a raid on the Papal States with a body of irregulars, but had to return unsuccessful to Caprera. On the proclamation of the Republic in France 1870, Garibaldi offered his services to the republican Government and was appointed to the command of the non-existing “Army of the Vosges.” Elected a member of the French National Assembly at Bordeaux, he met with so much abuse and calumny on the part of the other members that he retired, disgusted and disappointed, to Caprera, where he spent the last ten years of his life, occupying himself with the writing of pamphlets and novels.[/FONT]
