The British brigade marching into the Largo St. Francesco di Paola, Naples... 1860. Creator: Unknown
The British brigade marching into the Largo St. Francesco di Paola, Naples - from a sketch by our special artist, Frank Vizetelly, 1860. British soldiers fight for Garibaldi in Italy. The reception of these volunteers was most enthusiastic. Bouquets were showered on them from all sides, and, being caught by the soldiers, were placed by them on the points of their bayonets...First in order of the long array comes procession after procession of National Guards with flags of the populace shouting Viva Inghilterra! Viva gli Inglesi! and we take off our hats; of crowds headed by young women with banners over their shoulders, and flowers and evergreens...the English - honoured name - were the great centre of interest...They all move on in front of the King's Palace, and then circle round the Great Square, amid the shouts of tens of thousands of the people'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking image from 1860, the British brigade marches triumphantly into the Largo St. Francesco di Paola in Naples, Italy. The soldiers, dressed in their red coats and bearing rifles, lead the way, followed by a sea of citizens waving Italian and British flags. The National Guards, with their colorful uniforms and banners, walk alongside the soldiers, their faces filled with excitement and admiration. The reception of the British volunteers was nothing short of enthusiastic. Bouquets of flowers were thrown at them from all sides, and the soldiers, caught up in the moment, placed them on the points of their bayonets. The crowd, made up of men, women, and children, cheered and shouted "Viva Inghilterra! Viva gli Inglesi!" (Long live England! Long live the English!). The English soldiers, an honored name, were the center of attention, and the people of Naples couldn't contain their joy and appreciation. The procession made its way in front of the King's Palace and then circled around the Great Square, with tens of thousands of people lining the streets to catch a glimpse of the brave soldiers. The British brigade's involvement in the Italian Wars of Unification, fighting alongside Garibaldi, had earned them the respect and admiration of the Italian people. This photograph captures a moment in history, a testament to the unity and camaraderie between the British soldiers and the Italian people during a time of great change.
