Surrender of the Neapolitan troops at Soveria, Calabria... 1860. Creator: Unknown
Surrender of the Neapolitan troops at Soveria, Calabria - from a sketch by our special artist in Italy, Frank Vizetelly, 1860. Soveria was one of those mountain fastnesses which yielded to [Garibaldi] at once without a struggle. The correspondent of the Daily News...writes: "...I never witnessed more distressing scenes; peasants and soldiers getting hold of the arms given up by the Neapolitans...a terrific noise prevailing in that pandemonium of human beings...all the Neapolitan officers with whom I spoke told me they were glad that the capitulation, though hard and humiliating, had been agreed upon between the two Generals, because the fratricide would thus be ended." The Sketch...[shows] the moment the Neapolitan soldiers were throwing down their arms and crying, "Viva Garibaldi!" A Calabrese is helping himself to one of the muskets; and Gusmaroli, Garibaldi's famous priest...is beating him over the back and shoulders to induce him to drop it. During the day he had numerous opportunities of developing the muscles of his arms in the same exercise to a considerable extent. In the foreground is Colonel Peard, who came alone upon the Neapolitan force as they were preparing to retire, and summoned the General to surrender'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the poignant moment of the Surrender of the Neapolitan troops at Soveria, Calabria, in 1860. The photograph is based on a sketch by Frank Vizetelly, a special artist for the Daily News, who witnessed this historic event firsthand. Soveria was one of the last strongholds of the Neapolitan army, which had been resisting the advancing forces of Giuseppe Garibaldi during the Italian Unification. The scene depicted in the sketch is described in a report from the Daily News correspondent, who wrote of the "distressing scenes" that unfolded as Neapolitan soldiers and peasants seized the abandoned weapons. The noise was "terrific," and the Neapolitan officers expressed relief that the fighting had ended, as they spoke of the fratricidal conflict that had long plagued the region. The image shows Neapolitan soldiers throwing down their arms and crying "Viva Garibaldi!" A Calabrese man is seen helping himself to one of the muskets, while Garibaldi's famous priest, Gusmaroli, beats him over the back to encourage him to drop it. In the foreground, Colonel Peard of the British army stands alone, having summoned the Neapolitan General to surrender. The moment of surrender marks the end of the Neapolitan resistance in Calabria and a significant step towards the unification of Italy.
