EDITORS COMMENTS
This English cartoon from the 19th century depicts a significant moment in Italian history. The illustration, found in the Private Collection, showcases Giuseppe Garibaldi, an influential figure during the Risorgimento movement, assisting Italian King Vittorio Emanuele II in putting on the symbolic Italian boot. Published in "Punch" magazine in 1860, this caricature by Luisa Ricciarini captures the essence of unity and national pride. The image serves as an allegory for Garibaldi's role in Italy's struggle for independence and unification. Known for his military prowess and charismatic leadership, Garibaldi led a successful expedition known as "the Thousand" which played a crucial part in liberating various regions of Italy from foreign rule. In this artwork, we witness Garibaldi supporting King Vittorio Emanuele II as he dons the Italian boot—a powerful symbol of sovereignty and territorial integrity. This collaboration between two key figures highlights their shared vision to unite Italy under one monarchy. The artist skillfully portrays both historical accuracy and satirical elements through her caricature style. Through this print, viewers are reminded of the bravery and determination that shaped Italy's path towards nationhood. As a testament to its significance within art history, this piece remains out of copyright but continues to inspire admiration for its representation of war heroes like Giuseppe Garibaldi and their contributions to shaping modern-day Italy.
