Equestrian monument to Giuseppe Garibaldi, Bronze equestrian sculpture in La Spezia, Italy
The monument features Giuseppe Garibaldi mounted on a rearing horse, positioned on a sandstone pedestal in the Public Gardens of La Spezia.
Antonio Garella created this bronze monument in 1913 following a competition among Italian sculptors to commemorate Garibaldi's three visits to La Spezia.
