Giuseppe Garibaldi, Bronze statue in Washington Square Park, Manhattan, United States.
The bronze monument stands 300 centimeters tall on a granite pedestal, depicting the Italian unification leader in a commanding stance facing east.
Giovanni Turini, who served in Garibaldi's Fourth Regiment against Austria in 1866, created this monument which was inaugurated on June 4, 1888.
The statue represents the strong connection between Italian immigrants and New York City, funded by the Italian-American newspaper Il Progresso Italo-Americano.
Visitors can locate the monument in the eastern section of Washington Square Park, where it was relocated in 1970 during the construction of a new promenade.
A glass vessel from the 1880s containing newspapers about Garibaldi's death was discovered beneath the statue during its 1970 relocation.
