Garibaldi at Varignano - from a drawing by M. Beaucé, 1862. Creator: Unknown
Garibaldi at Varignano - from a drawing by M. Beauce, 1862. Regardless of personal advancement, regardless of personal friendships and positions of power and influence, [Garibaldi] has never had in view any other purpose than the happiness (through the liberation and union) of his fellow-countrymen, still only attainable by the complete consolidation of Italian unity, the cause for which he has become "the Prisoner of Italy"...the Italian Government, after a considerable interval of painful hesitation, came to a resolution concerning the "rebel" prisoner. The majority of the Cabinet was in favour of an amnesty; but Generals La Marmora and Cialdini...outweighed the more noble sentiments of their opponents, and...the illustrious Liberator of Naples and the Two Sicilies, the real founder of Italian unity, is to appear as a criminal before a court of assize...Happily, at the time we write the reports as to the state of the "prisoner's" wounds - the wounds inflicted by men with Italian blood also in their veins - are most favourable...The enthusiastic demonstrations taking place in different parts of Great Britain sufficiently prove the interest felt in this country on Italian affairs in general, and especially towards "The Prisoner of Italy". From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
Garibaldi at Varignano" is a captivating image of Giuseppe Garibaldi, the legendary Italian patriot and military leader, as depicted in a drawing by M. Beaucé in 1862. The photograph is a print of the original artwork, and the creator of the print is unknown. At the time this image was created, Garibaldi was a political prisoner, held in Varignano, near Genoa, after his unsuccessful attempt to overthrow the monarchy in Naples and unify Italy. The drawing captures the determined and resolute look in Garibaldi's eyes, reflecting his unwavering commitment to the Italian cause. The caption accompanying the image, from the Illustrated London News of 1862, describes the political climate surrounding Garibaldi's imprisonment. The Italian Government was debating whether to grant him an amnesty or put him on trial as a criminal. The more hawkish members of the Cabinet, including Generals La Marmora and Cialdini, ultimately prevailed, and Garibaldi was to stand trial. Despite the uncertainty surrounding Garibaldi's fate, the caption notes the widespread support for him in Italy and beyond. Enthusiastic demonstrations were taking place in Great Britain, reflecting the global interest in Italian affairs and Garibaldi's role as a symbol of Italian unity. The optimistic tone of the caption also highlights the hope that Garibaldi's wounds, inflicted during the conflict, were healing well. This powerful image of Garibaldi at Varignano serves as a poignant reminder of the personal sacrifices and political struggles that accompanied the Italian unification movement. It continues to captivate audiences today, offering a glimpse into a pivotal moment in Italian history.
