Achievements Of Giuseppe Maria Garibaldi

1077 Words5 Pages

This paper is a critical review on the life and achievements of Giuseppe Maria Garibaldi. A military and political figure of the 19th century or as the Italians call him ‘father of the fatherland.’ This paper will analyze how he went from being a typical sailor to one of the key figures in the unification of Italy. Interpretations from historians will vary, from an Italian’s perspective to a British perspective criticizing Giuseppe Garibaldi which will result in a final judgement from both these interpretations. To conclude, I will be giving my own judgement to see whether in fact, Garibaldi was the man, Italians claim to be.

Born Giuseppe Maria Garibaldi on July 4 1807 in Nice, France to Giovanni Domenico Garibaldi and Maria Rosa Nicoletta Raimondo. His family’s involvement in sea shipping, influenced him to be active to a life at sea, making him a sailor. By 1833, while sailing to Russia, he met Giovanni Battista Cuneo, an active immigrant and member of the Young Italy movement of Giuseppe Mazzini. It was through Mazzini that Garibaldi found inspiration and fascination with Italian unification. The Young Italy was a form of movement that was trying to liberate Italy from any foreign oppression and to help Italy become a unified republic, it was through this movement that Garibaldi would forever dedicate his life to. In 1834 after failed revolt in Piedmont he was sentenced to death for his revolutionary activities but managed to flee to Marseilles (France).
