"Garibaldi: A Revolutionary Icon and Symbol of Italian Unification" Garibaldi, also known as Giuseppe Garibaldi, was a prominent figure in the history of Italy. Born in 1807, he played a crucial role in the unification of Italy during the mid-19th century. His military prowess and unwavering determination made him an iconic leader.
