Garibaldi per gli sorici stranieri

[pigna2]

Giuseppe Garibaldi, b. Nice, July 4, 1807; d. Caprera, June 2, 1882, was Italy's most brilliant soldier of the Risorgimento and one of the greatest guerrilla fighters of all time. While serving (1833-34) in the navy of the Kingdom of Sardinia-Piedmont, he came under the influence of Giuseppe Mazzini, the prophet of Italian nationalism. He took part in an abortive republican uprising in Piedmont in 1834.
Under a death sentence, he managed to escape to South America, where he lived from 1836 to 1848. There he took part in struggles in Brazil and helped Uruguay in its war against Argentina, commanding its small navy and, later, an Italian legion at Montevideo. The handsome warrior achieved international fame through the publicity of the elder Alexandre Dumas. Wearing his colorful gaucho costume, Garibaldi returned to Italy in April 1848 to fight in its war of independence. His exploits against the Austrians in Milan and against the French forces supporting Rome and the Papal States made him a national hero. Overpowered at last in Rome, Garibaldi and his men had to retreat through central Italy in 1849. Anita, his wife and companion-in-arms, died during this retreat.

Disbanding his men, Garibaldi again escaped abroad, where he lived successively in North Africa, the United States, and Peru. The "hero of two worlds" could not return to Italy until 1854. In 1859 he helped Piedmont in a new war against Austria, leading a volunteer Alpine force that captured Varese and Como.

In May 1860, Garibaldi set out on the greatest venture of his life, the conquest of Sicily and Naples. This time he had no governmental support, but Premier Cavour and King Victor Emmanuel II dared not stop the popular hero. They stood ready to help, but only if he proved successful. Sailing from near Genoa on May 6 with 1,000 Redshirts, Garibaldi reached Marsala, Sicily, on May 11 and proclaimed himself dictator in the name of Victor Emmanuel. At the Battle of Calatafimi (May 30) his guerrilla force defeated the regular army of the king of Naples. A popular uprising helped him capture Palermo--a brilliant success that convinced Cavour that Garibaldi's volunteer army should now be secretly supported by Piedmont.

Garibaldi crossed the Strait of Messina on August 18-19 and in a whirlwind campaign reached Naples on September 7. On October 3-5 he fought another battle on the Volturno River, the biggest of his career. After plebiscites, he handed Sicily and Naples over to Victor Emmanuel when the two met near the Volturno on October 26. Angered at not being named viceroy in Naples, however, Garibaldi retired to his home on Caprera, off Sardinia. Nevertheless, he continued to plot to capture the Papal States. In 1862 the Italian government, fearing international complications, had to intercept him at Aspromonte, where he was wounded in the heel. When he led another private expedition toward Rome in 1867, French troops halted him at Mentana. Subsequently, during the Franco-Prussian War (1870-71), Garibaldi led a group of volunteers in support of the new French republic.

Without Garibaldi's support, the unification of Italy could not have taken place when it did. A gifted leader and man of the people, he knew far better than Cavour or Mazzini how to stir the masses, and he repeatedly hastened the pace of events. Disillusioned in later life with politics, he declared himself a socialist.

ma allora perchè il regno delle due sicilie crollò come un castello di carte?

Garibaldi,a differenza di Mazzini o Croce, Gode di fama mondiale,
anche i prussiani che combattè lo stimavano...
il risorgimento fu oscuro e ambiguo, solo Garibaldi si salva

...

Perché non aveva certo investito i suoi soldi in armamenti e truppe, e mai si sarebbe sognato di essere attaccato senza dichiarazione di guerra.

Certo che per essere sconfitti da un migliaio di volontari male armati, ingrossati poi da un numero inprecisato di volontarti raccolti in loco, di soldi il Regno doveva averne spesi ben pochi. Nel passato era già stato salvato dall'intervento degli Austriaci che per vari motivi questa volta non intervennero.

del resto se il testo è scritto in inglese è chiaro che elogi garibaldi no???

strano che non si dica che il ladro di cavalli subì un attentato proprio a Messina, purtroppo non riuscito

[meridionalismo]

Perchè non sta scritto che giunto a Napoli prese in prestito dal Banco di Napoli una somma pari a 200000 lire dell'epoca e non le restituì mai più nonostante le richieste di pagamento del direttore???
Ho documenti alla mano su questo episodio.

Cordiali Saluti

1) erano molto di più i 1000 dato che molti militari piemontesi "disertarono" per unirsi a loro, vd il traditore Cosenz
2) costoro godevano dell'appoggio finanziario e logistico dell'UK la superpotenza dell'epoca
3) i generali borbonici tradirono vergognosamente, vendendosi per meno di 30 denari, vd lanza e landi.
4) ebbe l'apppoggio dei baroni e dei loro picciotti (mafiosi) in Siciilia e della camorra a Napoli
5) Sul Volturono finirono i facili trionfi, perchè si trovò di fronte un esercito motivato, che però fu preso alle spalle dal Piemonte, il tradimento si sa è la specializzazione di casa saBoia!

[capitan Cilento]

Potete addurre tutte le giustificazioni che volete Garibaldi ha occupato tutto il regno delle Due Sicilie. L'Abruzzo no. Ma ci persò Vittorio Emanuele II.

Le dichiarazioni di guerra! Cose antiche alla don Ghichotte. Il Piemonte fece la prima guerra moderna. Una guerra lampo. In questi casi non si usa la dichiarazione di guerra si colpisce di sorpresa. Una tattica vincente!

Ora continuate a sminuire le vittorie di Garibaldi e ad offerdere il suo MITO, come sieta abituati a fare con la Juventus, un altro MITO ITALIANO.

Pultroppo voi siete irrecuperabili ancora a fare i nostalgici sui forum.
