EDITORS COMMENTS
Victory at Calatafimi: Garibaldi's Triumph over the Neapolitans in 1860 This evocative print commemorates the pivotal Battle of Calatafimi, which took place on May 17, 1860, during the Italian Wars of Unification. The scene captures the moment of triumph for Giuseppe Garibaldi and his "Thousand" volunteers as they defeated the Neapolitan army under the command of General Cosenz. The Battle of Calatafimi marked a turning point in the Italian Unification movement. Garibaldi, an Italian patriot, had landed in Sicily with a small band of volunteers in May 1860 with the goal of overthrowing the Bourbon monarchy and uniting Sicily with the Italian peninsula. After a series of successful engagements against the Neapolitan forces, Garibaldi's army arrived at Calatafimi, where they faced a larger enemy force. Despite being outnumbered, Garibaldi's troops fought with great bravery and determination. The Neapolitans, taken by surprise, were initially successful in pushing back the Italian forces. However, the tide of the battle turned when Garibaldi himself led a counterattack, which resulted in a decisive victory for the Italians. The print depicts Garibaldi on horseback, raising his hat in victory as his troops cheer and wave their flags. The defeated Neapolitan soldiers can be seen in the background, surrendering or fleeing the battlefield. The landscape of Calatafimi, with its rolling hills and picturesque villas, serves as a backdrop to this historic moment. The Battle of Calatafimi was a significant victory for the Italian Unification movement, paving the way for the eventual unification of Italy under the House of Savoy in 1861. This print serves as a testament to the courage and determination of Garibaldi and his volunteers, who fought for the cause of Italian independence and unity.
