What adventure novelist could have invented the life of Giuseppe Garibaldi? The revolutionary, soldier, politician, and greatest figure in the fight for Italian unification, Garibaldi (1807-1882) brought off almost as many dramatic exploits in the Americas as he did in Europe, becoming an international freedom fighter, earning the title of the "hero of two worlds," and making himself perhaps the most famous and beloved man of his century. Alfonso Scirocco's Garibaldi is the most up-to-date, authoritative, comprehensive, and convincing biography of Garibaldi yet written. In vivid narrative style and unprecedented detail, and drawing on many new sources that shed fresh light on important events, Scirocco tells the full story of Garibaldi's fascinating public and private life, separating its myth-like reality from the outright myths that have surrounded Garibaldi since his own day. Scirocco tells how Garibaldi devoted his energies to the liberation of Italians and other oppressed peoples. Sentenced to death for his role in an abortive Genoese insurrection in 1834, Garibaldi fled to South America, where he joined two successive fights for independence--Rio Grande do Sul's against Brazil and Uruguay's against Argentina. He returned to Italy in 1848 to again fight for Italian independence, leading seven more campaigns, including the spectacular capture of Sicily. During the American Civil War, Abraham Lincoln even offered to make him a general in the Union army. Presenting Garibaldi as a complex and even contradictory figure, Scirocco shows us the pacifist who spent much of his life fighting; the nationalist who advocated European unification; the republican who served a king; and the man who, although compared by contemporaries to Aeneas and Odysseus, refused honors and wealth and spent his last years as a farmer.

Giuseppe Garibaldi, the Italian revolutionary leader and popular hero, was among the best-known figures of the nineteenth century. This book seeks to examine his life and the making of his cult, to assess its impact, and understand its surprising success. For thirty years Garibaldi was involved in every combative event in Italy. His greatest moment came in 1860, when he defended a revolution in Sicily and provoked the collapse of the Bourbon monarchy, the overthrow of papal power in central Italy, and the creation of the Italian nation state. It made him a global icon, representing strength, bravery, manliness, saintliness, and a spirit of adventure. Handsome, flamboyant, and sexually attractive, he was worshiped in life and became a cult figure after his death in 1882. Lucy Riall shows that the emerging cult of Garibaldi was initially conceived by revolutionaries intent on overthrowing the status quo, that it was also the result of a collaborative effort involving writers, artists, actors, and publishers, and that it became genuinely and enduringly popular among a broad public. The book demonstrates that Garibaldi played an integral part in fashioning and promoting himself as a new kind of “charismatic” political hero. It analyzes the way the Garibaldi myth has been harnessed both to legitimize and to challenge national political structures. And it identifies elements of Garibaldi’s political style appropriated by political leaders around the world, including Mussolini and Che Guevara.

Not illustrated. 1889 edition. Excerpt: ... calling on the brave sons of Etna to rise, in hopes of prompt succour from the mainland of Italy. Two men, and no more, they landed, proscribed and under sentence of death, and passed over the whole island, fulfilling their sacred mission, as safe as if they had been in a city of refuge. Hear it, tyrants, and learn that this is not a country of spies! You have wasted your time in lavishing eveiy kind of bribe. Here on the lava of the father of volcanoes, your power, defiled as it is with blood and shame, is but the thing of a day. Throw off your regulation mask, in which no one believes now, and appear under the hideous aspect of Heliogabalus or Caracalla. Here it is nothing but a question of time--of years, perhaps of days. If these wrangling descendants of discord and greatness succeed in coming to an understanding and acting in concert, in a few hours--as at the time of the Vespers--not a trace will remain of the Maniscalchi and suchlike refuse. Eosalino Pilo fell in a skirmish with the Bourbon troops, with whom the Thousand exchanged a few shots in the neighbourhood of Eenne. He was struck by an enemy's bullet while preparing to write to me from the heights of San Martino, and dropped dead. Italy lost in him one of the bravest of that gallant band whose noble bearing makes her forget, or at least feel less acutely, her degradation and misery. Corrao, less fortunate than Eosalino, after having fought bravely in every battle of 1860, died by an Italian bullet in a private quarrel. Sicily will certainly never forget these two heroic sons of hers, worthy harbingers of the Thousand. CHAPTER VII. CALATAFIMI TO PALERMO--Continued. After having passed two days of heavy rain at Eenne, without shelter and almost without firewood, so that we...

Not illustrated. 1889 edition. Excerpt: ... King Humbert on the Quirinal, the "king elect" of one Italy, free and independent, is more dreaded by the unkinged pope in the Vatican, than the spectre of Giordano Bruno haunting the Field of Flowers. From the breach of Porta Pia was hurled the thunderbolt that for ever felled the temporal power; from the field where Bruno's monument will soon arise* already floats the banner on which is inscribed, "Free thought and secular schools." f * The erection of this monument is but a question of time; the money is subscribed by Italians of all provinces, and the life-size figure of Bruno is already modelled by the great sculptor and patriot, Hector Ferrari. All that is now wanting is the sanction of the Eoman municipality, from which body at the last elections the Eomans eliminated the champions of Papa Pecci, substituting Italian lovers of an Italian Eome. Once the few metres of ground, municipal property, conceded,1 the monument of the monk of Nola will arise on the spot where he suffered martyrdom. Thence, his daring brow and piercing eyes gleaming from his monkish cowl, he may watch the jubilees of the nineteenth century, compare to-day's motley crew with the jubilant pilgrims who gloated over his death-agony on February 17, 1600. He may watch also the 20th of September processions, lowering their colours as they pass him; and, hearing the cry of "Viva Giordano Bruno!" mingle (as it now invariably does in Eome) with the "Viva lTtalia!" "Viva Mazzini!" "Viva Garibaldi!" "Viva the king elect!" may answer with that jovial, whimsical laugh of his, "Evviva, my brave disciples, my well-beloved sous; you are convinced now that the universe has no walls at all save the immaginata circonferenza which surrounds the imaginary prisoner in the Vatican?..".
