EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment of anticipation as Garibaldi's Invasion Fleet prepares to land on the shores of Calabria, Italy, in 1860. The photograph, taken at Messina in Sicily, shows the diverse collection of ships that made up the fleet, ready to play their part in the historic invasion that would ultimately lead to the unification of Italy under one government. Giuseppe Garibaldi, a legendary figure in Italian history, had led a volunteer army, the "Thousand," from Brazil to Sicily in May 1860. After successfully capturing Palermo and Sicily, he set his sights on the Italian mainland. The Invasion Fleet, consisting of various vessels donated by European powers and the United States, brought Garibaldi's forces closer to their goal. The soldiers, dressed in their red shirts, can be seen on the deck of the ships, their faces a mix of determination and apprehension as they prepare to disembark and face the unknown. The beach at Messina, with its golden sands and clear waters, provides a stark contrast to the impending conflict. This photograph is a testament to the courage and determination of Garibaldi and his soldiers, who risked their lives to bring about the unification of Italy. The Invasion of Calabria marked a turning point in Italian history, paving the way for the country's eventual independence and the establishment of a unified Italian state. The image also serves as a reminder of the significant role that naval power played in shaping the course of history. The Invasion Fleet, with its diverse range of ships, played a crucial role in enabling Garibaldi's forces to reach the Italian mainland and achieve their goal. This photograph captures a moment of history that continues to inspire and fascinate, offering a glimpse into the past and the events that shaped the modern Italian nation.
