EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil on canvas painting, titled "Passaggio del Garigliano" by the Italian artist Raffaele Pontremoli, captures a pivotal moment in the Second World of Independence, also known as the Italian Risorgimento, which led to the unification of Italy from 1859 to 1861. The scene depicted in the painting is the crossing of the Garigliano River on October 31, 1860, during the Expedition of the Thousand led by Giuseppe Garibaldi. Garibaldi, an Italian patriot and military leader, had set sail from Genoa with a thousand volunteers to support the cause of Italian unification. After a series of successful military campaigns, they reached the southern region of Naples, which was still under the rule of the Bourbon monarchy. The crossing of the Garigliano River marked the final step in their conquest of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. The painting beautifully illustrates the determination and courage of the volunteers as they wade through the river, with Garibaldi leading the way on horseback. The sun sets in the background, casting a golden glow over the scene, symbolizing the hope and optimism that the Italian people felt as they moved towards a united and independent future. This painting is now a cherished part of Italy's national heritage and is displayed at the National Museum of the Italian Risorgimento in Turin. It serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices and struggles that led to the unification of Italy and the creation of a modern Italian state.
