Monument to the Meeting of Teano, Bronze monument in Piazza Mino, Fiesole, Italy.

The Monument to the Meeting of Teano is a bronze equestrian group in Piazza Mino da Fiesole, in front of the Palazzo Pretorio. It shows King Vittorio Emanuele II and Garibaldi on horseback, shaking hands while facing in opposite directions; the King's horse steps slightly more nervously, Garibaldi's steed is regally passive.

Sculptor Oreste Calzolari designed the bronze group, inaugurated in 1906 in Piazza Mino da Fiesole. It commemorates the October 26, 1860 meeting at Teano, where Garibaldi hailed Vittorio Emanuele II as king after the Expedition of the Thousand. A source says the statues were meant for Teano, which could not raise the 3,625 lire cost, so Fiesole donors bought them. A stone obelisk originally accompanied the work but was destroyed in a World War II bombing raid.

The sculpture shows two historical figures on horseback facing each other and shaking hands. This gesture captures a pivotal moment when two leaders came together to shape Italy's future.

The monument sits on a square in Fiesole in front of a historic palazzo and is easy to reach. Visitors should explore on foot since the square is small and manageable.

The sculptor Oreste Calzolari is said to have intended the statues for a monument in Teano, but the town could not raise the 3,625 lire needed to make them. Wealthy patrons and donors in Fiesole bought the statues instead, which is why the group stands in Piazza Mino da Fiesole rather than at the site of the 1860 meeting.
