EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic moment when Giuseppe Garibaldi, the Italian patriot and military leader, met with the Cacciatori delle Alpi, or Alpine Hunters, in Varese, Italy, in 1859. The Cacciatori delle Alpi were a volunteer army of Italian exiles who had fought bravely in the Second Italian War of Independence against the Austrian Empire. Garibaldi, who had recently arrived in Italy from Brazil, had been instrumental in the successful campaign to take the city of Milano and was now rallying support for the cause of Italian unification. The image shows Garibaldi standing proudly among the soldiers of the Cacciatori delle Alpi, his arms outstretched as he addresses them. The men, dressed in their distinctive red shirts and green fezzes, gaze intently at their charismatic leader. The backdrop of the rolling hills and the clear blue sky add to the sense of openness and freedom that Garibaldi and his followers were fighting for. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the pivotal role that Garibaldi and the Cacciatori delle Alpi played in the Risorgimento, the period of Italian history that saw the country's unification and the establishment of the Kingdom of Italy. The meeting in Varese marked a significant turning point in the struggle for Italian independence and helped to galvanize support for the cause among the Italian people. The photograph also underscores the importance of volunteer armies and the role they can play in shaping history. The Cacciatori delle Alpi were not professional soldiers, but ordinary men who were motivated by a deep sense of patriotism and a desire for freedom. Their bravery and sacrifice helped to pave the way for the unification of Italy and the creation of a new nation.
