September 17, 1860: The Defeat of the Neapolitans at the Battle of Caserta This evocative print captures the poignant moment of the Neapolitan army's surrender at the Battle of Caserta, a pivotal event in Italian history. The battle, which took place on September 17, 1860, marked the final defeat of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and the effective end of the Bourbon monarchy. The scene depicted in this image unfolds on the outskirts of Caserta, a city located in southern Italy. The Neapolitan forces, led by General Govone, are shown retreating in disarray, their morale shattered after a grueling and decisive battle against the Italian army, commanded by Giuseppe Garibaldi. The Italian forces, clad in red shirts and brandishing rifles, are poised to advance, their determination etched on their faces. The Battle of Caserta was the culmination of a long and arduous campaign to unify Italy under a single government. The unification process had begun in 1859, when the Kingdom of Sardinia, led by Victor Emmanuel II, allied with France to defeat the Austrian forces in the Second Italian War of Independence. With the Austrians weakened, Garibaldi, an Italian patriot and military leader, embarked on a daring expedition from his base in Sicily to conquer the mainland. The Neapolitan army, though initially outnumbering the Italian forces, was no match for Garibaldi's seasoned and motivated troops. The Battle of Caserta, with its decisive outcome, paved the way for the final unification of Italy under Victor Emmanuel II. The eventual establishment of the Kingdom of Italy on March 17, 1861, marked the beginning of a new era in Italian history. This poignant print serves as a testament to the courage and determination of the men who fought in the Battle of Caserta, and to the indomitable spirit of the Italian people in their quest for unity and independence.
