Monument to Giuseppe Garibaldi
Monument to Giuseppe Garibaldi, Bronze equestrian monument in Largo Cairoli, Milan, Italy.
The monument features Giuseppe Garibaldi mounted on horseback with a partially drawn sword, crafted in bronze by sculptor Ettore Ximenes and positioned on a granite base from Baveno quarries.
Inaugurated on November 3, 1895, this monument was created shortly after Garibaldi's death to commemorate his pivotal role in the Italian unification movement and the Risorgimento campaigns.
The monument includes allegorical female figures representing Insurrection and Liberty, with symbolic elements like lions and panthers that embody the Italian people's struggle against tyranny during the independence movement.
Located in central Milan near important civic institutions, the monument is easily accessible to visitors and frequently included in cultural walking tours of the city's historical sites.
The base features bronze shields with laurel wreaths inscribed with names of key Risorgimento battles including Marsala, Rome, and Verona, directly connecting the monument to Garibaldi's military victories.
