Just after the name of the Italian politician and commander became popular all over the world. In may 1860, Giuseppe Garibaldi, along with a detachment of volunteers landed in Sicily, then in just six months turned his “thousand” into a full-fledged army and defeated the forces of the Kingdom of Naples.
