EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a pivotal moment in Italian history during the Risorgimento - Expedition of the Thousand led by Giuseppe Garibaldi in 1861. The image shows King Francesco II di Borbone of Naples and his wife being forced to flee Gaeta by Piedmontese forces, marking the end of their reign.
The tension and emotion are palpable as the royal couple bid farewell to their loyal garrison before departing for Rome. The king's expression is one of defeat and resignation, while his wife appears stoic yet sorrowful. Their departure symbolizes the fall of the Bourbon monarchy and the triumph of Italian unification efforts.
The Siege of Gaeta was a significant event in the struggle for independence, with Garibaldi's Redshirts playing a crucial role in overthrowing foreign rule and establishing a united Italy. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought for freedom and self-determination.
Through this historical snapshot, we are transported back to a time of upheaval, courage, and determination. It is a testament to the resilience and spirit of the Italian people during this turbulent period. The legacy of these events continues to resonate today, reminding us of the importance of unity and perseverance in pursuit of liberty.
