EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Unite d Italie - Expedition of the Thousand or Red Shirts led by Giuseppe Garibaldi" captures a significant moment in Italian history. The image depicts the Siege of Gaeta in 1860, specifically showcasing the opening of a trench by Piemontese troops in front of Monte Secco. Led by the renowned Italian general Giuseppe Garibaldi, the Red Shirts embarked on an expedition known as the Expedition of the Thousand. Their goal was to unify Italy and liberate it from foreign rule. This engraving from "Le Monde Illustre" provides a glimpse into one of their crucial battles during this campaign. In this black and white depiction, we see soldiers diligently working together to dig trenches before engaging in combat with enemy forces. The scene exudes determination and unity as they prepare for what lies ahead. The presence of Garibaldi's leadership is felt through his strategic decision-making and guidance. This historic event marked a turning point in Italy's struggle for independence, known as Risorgimento. Through their bravery and resilience, these soldiers fought valiantly to secure a united Italy free from foreign oppression. Stefano Bianchetti's masterful engraving beautifully captures this pivotal moment in time, allowing us to reflect upon the sacrifices made by those who fought for Italian unification. It serves as a reminder that unity can overcome even the most formidable challenges when driven by shared aspirations for freedom and independence.
