Monument to Giuseppe Garibaldi, Bronze and granite monument in Rovigo, Italy
The Monument to Giuseppe Garibaldi displays the general seated on horseback, crafted from bronze figures mounted atop a substantial granite base. The work combines the fluid lines of the bronze sculpture with the solid geometric form of the stone foundation in Piazza Garibaldi.
Sculptor Ettore Ferrari created this work and it was unveiled in 1895 as a tribute to Garibaldi's pivotal role in Italian unification. The sculpture marks a defining moment when the nation took shape and established its modern identity.
The monument marks the heart of civic life in Rovigo and draws residents who gather for local holidays and remembrance events throughout the year. It remains a focal point where people connect with their shared heritage and regional identity.
The monument sits in Piazza Garibaldi and is easily reached on foot from the town center. It remains accessible daily and free to view at any time, making it convenient for casual visits.
Ettore Ferrari was responsible for other important public monuments across Italy and had a gift for expressing heroic figures in monumental forms. His works shaped the appearance of several Italian cities in the 1800s.
