Giuseppe Garibaldi
Giuseppe Garibaldi (July 4, 1807 - June 2, 1882) was an Italian military and political figure. In his twenties, he joined the Carbonari Italian patriot revolutionaries, and had to flee Italy after a failed insurrection. He then contributed to the independence of Uruguay, leading the Italian Legion in the Uruguayan Civil War, and afterwards returned to Italy as a commander in the conflicts of the Risorgimento. He has been dubbed the “Hero of the Two Worlds” in tribute to his military expeditions in both South America and Europe. He is considered an Italian national hero.
