Garibaldi Museum in Caprera

The Garibaldi Museum on Caprera is a residence complex spread across multiple buildings on an island in the La Maddalena archipelago. The property features surrounding gardens with mature trees and overlooks the waters around the islands.

Garibaldi moved to Caprera after his active military campaigns ended and spent his final years in this island residence. He passed away in 1882, leaving the property as a snapshot of his personal life during that period.

The museum displays everyday items and personal possessions that reveal how Garibaldi lived beyond his military career. Visitors can see furniture, clothing, and domestic objects that show the private side of this historical figure.

The site is accessible by boat and features clear pathways connecting the different buildings throughout the grounds. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended since touring the complex involves moving between several structures and outdoor areas.

A granite tomb on the grounds holds Garibaldi's remains along with the graves of his family members. This quiet memorial space offers a reflective moment at the end of a visit.
