Tombs open, the dead rise up

Our martyrs all arise!

The sword in their fist, laurels in their hair

The flame and name of Italia in their heart:

Come on, come on, young troops!

Come all, our banners in the wind

Come all with iron, come all with fire

Come all with the name of Italia in your heart

Begone from Italy!

Begone, O foreigner!

In 1860, Italy was divided
into eight states.

The Kingdom of Sardinia comprised Sardinia,
Piemonte and Liguria,

and had its capital in Turin.

The previous year, under the treaty
of Villafranca, it had annexed Lombardy,

stretching as far as Peschiera and Mincio.

The Kingdom of Sardinia, with
the constitutional king Vittorio Emanuele ll

and the prime minister
Count Camillo Benso di Cavour,

was joined by Emilia-Romagna
after the insurrection of 1859.

Austria still dominated the Veneto.

The republic of San Marino
was independent.

The grand duchies of Parma,
Lucca and Tuscany

had voted in March in favor of annexation
to the Kingdom of Sardinia.

The Papal State included Lazio,
Umbria and Marche,

its capital was Rome,
and the reigning Pope was Pius IX.

The Kingdom of the Two Sicilies
included Campania,

Abruzzo Molise, Apulia,
Calabria and Sicily.

Its king was the Bourbon, Francesco II,
and its capital was Naples.

A cry against the absurd frontiers
which divided our land

and made the children of the same
language strangers to each other

after 60 years of heroic struggles,

became a single voice
in this glorious year.

All Sicily was filled
with the thrill Of liberty.

By the early hours of 4 April, 1860,
a group of conspirators

had gathered in Palermo
at the convent of La Gancia,

waiting till sun up and the signal
to begin the revolution.

- What time is it?
- You've got a watch.

- 5:08am.
- What time is dawn?

The deacon will give
the go-ahead at sunlight.

I know!

Listen.

He's coming.

- The convent is surrounded!
- How?

- Yes, surrounded!
- But by whom?

- Police, soldiers!
- Let's stay here, it's safe.

What about those in Ballard and Sant'Anna
who are waiting for the signal to revolt?

- What shall we do?
- Let's get out of here.

You go ring the bell,
we'll try to get out!

The piazza is small.
If we surprise the soldiers,

we'll reach the streets,
and start the revolt.

- Let's go!
- Let's go!

Close the trap door.

The flag. Hurry.

- Go with him to the bell tower. Hurry.
- This way.

Come, quick.

The bells! The flag!

Make ready!

- They're here!
- Fire at will!

Fire!

Attention! About turn!

First squad, make ready!

Take aim!

Fire!

I'm not dead,
I have a right to grace.

- I'm not dead, I have a right to grace!
- Here's your grace!

A few days later in Genoa,
April 15, 1860,

Giuseppe Garibaldi knocked
on the door of Carlo Augusto Vecchi,

at the Villa Spinola in Quarto,
with the following words:

"I come to you, just as Christ sought refuge,
because I have nowhere to lay my head."

Here we are, Villa Spinola.

- How much?
- One carlino.

- Here.
- Thanks.

- Here.
- Let's go.

Open up!

Halt. Who were the people
who brought you?

I don't know.

- Where did you find them?
- At the station. One was an officer.

OK, go ahead.

- Here we are, I've brought him to you.
- Oh, my dear Bandi!

- Welcome.
- Happy to see you, General.

- Hello, Nino.
- Hello.

Gusmaroli will have told you
why I had you come.

- No.
- Take a seat.

I was in a café in Alessandria
when he came over and said,

"The General wants you right now."
Before I could get my things,

he dragged me to the station,
put me on the first train, and here I am.

- May I?
- Please do.

You're still in contact
with your friends in Siena?

Yes, sure.

You need to go back there
and get a group together.

Follow the Chiana valley
to the border,

taking the town of Pieve
along the way.

Then approach Perugia
and see if they can raise support

from the surrounding area.

Yes.

It's a big task, and I can't spare you
any supplies or money to do it.

But General, doing this
without arms or money is...

Are the people
committed to the cause or not?

If they're really committed,
sticks alone will be enough.

Sure,
if you were fronting the orchestra.

- You don't want to go.
- You go!

I don't want people saying that
I failed Garibaldi out of sheer vainglory.

Goddamned Tuscans!

Slack-ass cowards!

Don't get upset, it's only Bixio.

He loses his temper easily.

Besides, for the time being,

we should confine our attention
to the matter in hand.

- We'll talk about it tomorrow.
- Yes General, but...

And you can give me
the addresses you have then.

Tonight, you'll be OK
sleeping on the sofa.

I should go back to Alessandria, really.

If I'm not at the barracks tomorrow,
they'll put me under arrest.

Don't worry.

You're coming with me.

- Know where we're going?
- No, General.

We're going to Sicily.

Sicily?

Palermo is uprising.
The whole island will join the revolution.

The Bourbon kingdom
is falling apart.

Besides, all roads lead to Rome,
don't they?

But the one going through Sicily
isn't the shortest.

And it's not even the easiest one.

Good night.

Sorry I can't offer you
anything better.

Good night, General.

- Can I turn out the light?
- Go ahead, General.

- Yes, General?
- It's late.

Be so kind as to make some coffee.

Everything you need is there.

- Did you sleep well, General?
- Yes, thank you.

- You must have been uncomfortable.
- No, I wasn't in fact.

I need to call Fruscianti.
We'll go for a walk in the hills.

My doctor recommended steam baths
for me.

And we'll also have to ask Fruscianti

to go through my son's clothes
for something that fits you.

You'd better take off that uniform,
if you don't want to attract attention.

Yes, General.

As you command, General.

- General!
- What is it, Bixio?

La Farina's arrived from Turin.

General! General!

General, Crispi's back
from Milan as well.

- Rifles?
- Nothing.

Nothing.

The governor of Milan - what's his name -
Massimo d'Azeglio

has requisitioned all the weapons
from the Rifle Foundation.

Crispi, didn't the Minister of the Interior
intervene and stop it happening?

Yes, but without Cavour's approval behind it,
there was no intervention.

And Cavour isn't in Turin.

It smells fishy to me.

- La Farina's waiting.
- A good man!

- When did he arrive?
- Half hour ago.

He'll throw a spanner in the works.

We'll go, with or without rifles.

- We'll speak with a strong voice.
- Rifles or not, we go just the same!

- Sure, we go just the same!
- I read Rosolino Pilo's letters!

Whether it's true,
what Crispi and La Masa said,

whether the revolution in Sicily
has been crushed or not,

we go just the same!

Yes, right.
You may leave now.

Send in La Farina to me.

- Good morning, signor La Farina.
- Good morning, signor Garibaldi.

- I was sent here...
- You'll recall...

If you don't, may I remind you

that on April 8 I was granted
an audience with the King

and asked for the Bergamo brigade

to respond to our Sicilian brothers'
cry for help.

And remember, the King was in favor
of the expedition and my request.

But two days later,
he changed his mind.

I know who made him change,
and so do you.

- I'm here to resolve the situation.
- I don't doubt it'll be resolved!

But I'd like it to be resolved clearly
and not ambiguously.

- I'm sorry, would you like some?
- No, thank you.

I've never deluded myself that suddenly,
by virtue of the Holy Spirit,

Cavour, Mazzini, Garibaldi
Vittorio Emanuele and Pius IX

would become closely allied
to make Italy one.

But I'm firmly convinced that,
as things stand,

we either assist the operation in Sicily

without obstruction
from the Piedmontese government,

or we do it against its will!

- Do you mean to threaten civil war?
- The situation itself is threatening!

Then I'm here to tell you

that if it's really impossible to revoke
the requisition of the weapons

from the Rifle Foundation,

you can rely on our help!

But this help, for obvious reasons,
can't be government help.

The guns of the National Target Association,
where I am the secretary...

Tell me frankly,
can they be called rifles

or just bayonet handles?
Come in.

A coded telegram, from Malta.

- You've decoded it?
- Yes.

Read it out.

"Total failure in the province
and city of Palermo.

"Many refugees, picked up by English ships,
are now in Malta.

"Take no action."

The Target Shooting Association rifles
are at your disposal.

It's not possible!

To hell with it!

To hell!

Goodbye, signor Garibaldi.

Come in. Who is it?

Look...

Look at this telegram.

Sorry, if I'm so...

"insurrection defeated in Palermo.
Continues in the province. Fabrizi."

Crispi, what did you wire to Fabrizi?
And when?

I sent this on the 29th,

"Clarify your last message.

"Your receipt of batch 171
that's the supplies for Sicily,

"seems to be in doubt,
from what you say in letter 56."

56 indicates Messina.

"Lacking allocation, 136,"
136 means 'send',

"sacks, grain and, if you agree, 113,"
which means money "for 19 next."

19 is Rosolino Pilo.

So let's leave.

Let's leave right away!

You, Nino, should run and contact

Rubattino Ships' agent
to get the steamboats.

Assemble the men.

Fate is on our side,
we'll embark tomorrow.

- At Quarto?
- At Quarto. Go, Nino!

Fellow Italians. The Sicilians are fighting
the enemies of Italy for Italy!

Fellow Italians, it's every citizen's duty
to help them with your words,

with your gold, your weapons,
and above all, with your actions!

A host of valiant men,

who have fought alongside me
for our country,

are now marching to the rescue.

Italy knows these men,

they're the ones who show up
when the hour of danger sounds.

Good and generous companions,

who have sworn their lives
to their fatherland,

defending it
with their last drop of blood,

hoping for no other reward
than a pure conscience!

"Italy and Vittorio Emanuele,"
they cried, crossing the Ticino.

"Italy and Vittorio Emanuele"

shall echo in the fiery caves
of the Mongibello!

At this fateful war cry

thundering from the Gran Sasso
to the Tarpeo,

the worm-eaten throne of tyranny
will collapse,

and will rise up as a single man

the courageous descendants
of the Sicilian Vespers!

So to arms!

Let us end, once and for all,
the miseries of so many centuries!

We'll show the world
it wasn't a lie

that generations of Romans
lived on this land!

Viva Garibaldi!

Excuse me,
I have an urgent press report.

- I was first, signora.
- Go ahead.

A moment, please.

Listen to this telegram,
"Times, London:

"Garibaldi embarked tonight from Quarto
with a thousand volunteers

"on two steamships seized
by Bixio from Rubattino STOP

"It appears the General
wants to sail to Sicily STOP

"Enormous emotions in political
and consular circles STOP

"Details follow."

Go get the other dispatches.

GARIBALDI EMBARKS FROM QUARTO
WITH 1000 VOLUNTEERS

GARIBALDI LANDS AT MARSALA

GENERAL LANDI,
COMMANDER OF ROYAL TROOPS,

HEADS TO CALATAFIMI TO CRUSH
THE GUERRILLAS LANDED IN SICILY

Have the superintendent come in.

The superintendent apologizes,
but the doctor has forbidden him to go out.

Come in. Put the luggage
in the General's room.

- Have the officials come in.
- Yes, sir.

So, dear mayor, what's being said
about these conspirators?

Who knows where these outlaws are!

In Marsala, maybe?

Major Sforza, 10th regiment.
I come this morning from Trapani.

In Palermo I received the order
to join Your Excellency

to march forward against
the guerrillas disembarked in Marsala.

'Forward', but where, major?

Do you have any precise news
where they are?

According to my information
they're moving inland

through Santa Ninfa and Corleone.

My sources say
that they've regrouped at Cascina Fardella.

Impossible, colonel,
I passed through there yesterday.

I assure you,
there was no sign of Garibaldi.

According to some rumors,
he might be in Marsala.

Let's just say we have
conflicting news reports.

- May we have the Captain of Arms come in?
- Yes, willingly.

One can't make the decision
to march forward

without reliable information
about the enemy and his strength.

I'm sure you too have news
of the conspirators.

Yes, sir. Captain of Arms Natale Scimeni
from Calatafimi. At your command.

I come to share my intelligence
with Your Excellency.

The guerillas disembarked in Marsala
at about midday on May 11.

This we know!

It's a band of a thousand men,
for the most part civilians.

There are some with strange uniforms,
but they're civilians.

Well, they're under the command

of a certain Gallubardo or Garubardo -
one doesn't know exactly.

Oh, one knows, one knows.
Garibaldi!

Your Excellency knows about him, then.

Don't bother about what I know,
tell me what you know.

They're badly armed,
that much is certain.

They've got two medium-sized cannons
and a large one that's even older.

They've put them on carts
they stole in Marsala

and they're struggling
to drag them along. Yes, sir.

Last night
they slept in Rampingallo,

on Baron Mistretta's estate.

His nephew is called Antonino Forte,
Your Excellency...

and don't worry, I'll find him
when the time's right, that traitor!

The nephew's supplied them with rations
that they carry with them.

- Where are they now?
- On the road to Salemi.

- And how do you know?
- Your Excellency does me wrong!

See, Excellency?
This is the place.

Adamo! Adamo!

Garibaldi's in Salemi!

Call everyone, go to the mill
and make the flour disappear. Quick!

Tuflddu!

Tuflddu!

- Here I am, what is it?
- To the mill, quick!

I'm joining Garibaldi in Salemi.

Peppuzzo!

- To the mill!
- Be quick!

The farmers have united
in armed bands.

They've put themselves
under the command of that lot of traitors.

I mean, Sant'Anna, Coppola,
Moncada, Curatolo...

They've all signed up, Your Excellency.
All of them.

But I'll take care of them!

True, the Baron La Masa
may be prowling around Santa Ninfa,

but I, your very humble servant,
have contacts I can trust everywhere.

I understand. Country mafia.

No sir!
The mafia's in league with the liberals,

with the treacherous barons,
and with the brigands!

That's why my business is suffering.

Thank you for the information.

Keep your eyes and ears open.

- You can go.
- Yes, Your Excellency!

If Garibaldi wants to march on Palermo,
he only has one road,

the one which passes through Calatafimi.

We'll be there in Calatafimi.

- It's an optimal defensive position.
- Defensive?

Yes, that's what I said: defensive!

We hold the road
that the enemy has to take.

If Garibaldi wants to pass there,
it's he who has to attack,

with all the risks involved.

Permit me, General,

why must we put ourselves on defense
against a gang of peasants?

You know what the public spirit is?
Especially the workers.

I'm told they're
excessively enthusiastic.

We have to confirm tomorrow
that Garibaldi is in Salemi,

and find out in advance
when he starts moving.

You can go, too.

Later we'll decide what to do.

- Come on!
- Quick!

Don't waste time!
Come on!

- Walk!
- Go on!

The police!

Don't tell me you knew nothing about
the farmers' plan to sack the mill!

I'm a soldier, not a policeman,
but I should have you shot!

And you too, Father! You too!

We have enough priests and friars
inciting rebellion against His Majesty!

A fine religion you teach the people!

We don't have to answer to you,
signor General, for our teachings.

In this field of business, I only accept
observations, from my bishop.

I understand. Soon you'll be
quoting me St. Thomas

on the legitimacy of assassinating tyrants.

- Right?
- No need to quote it, since you know it.

From today, you'll have to answer
if the troops lack flour!

You can go.

- Have the Captain of Arms enter.
- Yes, sir.

Your Excellency, the guerrillas
have left Salemi and are approaching Vita.

- You're sure?
- In the early hours of the morning,

my men saw the movement of arms
between Salemi and Vita.

There, General, that's the road to Palermo.

Two kilometers ahead
is the turn-off for Trapani,

then the road goes on to Alcamo,
Partinico, Monreale and Palermo.

Where we are is called Terralunga.

See, up there beyond the hill.

Yes, yes!
Up there, where your men are.

There in the distance,
the town that you see is Calatafimi,

where General Landi's troops
arrived last night.

- Are there many of them?
- Oh, yes. A lot.

Pass me the binoculars.

- Who are they?
- Civilians and farmers.

They sensed the coming battle and fled.

Where are those thousand men
everyone promised?

The people are watching and waiting
before taking sides.

Patience, you'll see, it'll be fine.

For the people to rise up and follow us,
we have to show them we can fight.

The world befriends
the courageous and the lucky.

In Genoa, didn't they tell us
Pilo and Corrao controlled half the island?

So they said.

- They've done what they could.
- General, look there.

The Bourbons are moving out of Calatafimi
to meet us. See?

They'll take up position on that hill,
Pianto Romano,

and control the road
to Palermo and Trapani.

Your choice is
to charge up the mountain.

Pianto Romano, the hill's name
is a good sign - "Roman cry."

Where the Romans cried,
the tyrants of the world,

it's certain we'll laugh,
as enemies of the tyrants.

Let's go.

That sweet image

Puts my spirits at ease
and suggests

A serene and splendid vision

Of what the future holds for us

Take a step forward,
delight of my heart!

At 16, I took a husband

Take a step forward,
delight of my heart!

At 17, I broke up

Take a step forward,
delight of my heart!

Look, General, I said the Bourbons
would occupy Pianto Romano, didn't I?

And there they are. Was I right?

Beautiful troops.

And how well they maneuver!

What time is it?

Have our boys eat,
while there's time.

Menotti, see to it.

- Eat. Pass the word!
- Eat.

Eat, pass the word!

Boys, it's time to eat.

- Eat!
- Give me a piece of bread.

What are they doing,
eating?

Looks like they came for an outing.

We'll make them lose their appetite!

We'll enlarge their stomach,
we'll put a hole in it!

- We'll give them a digestive!
- Crazy! What people!

Adventurers!

I've only bread, cheese and olives.

Very good, thanks.

- Anyone have some salt?
- Yes, General.

- Here.
- Bravo.

How good this Sicilian bread is!

They sure have good trumpets!

- Let's make them hear ours. Where's mine?
- Here, General.

General, I explored the zone.
The hill is unpassable.

Those terraces
are extremely hard to climb.

You really want to fight there?

Yes, I do.
You don't understand, Bixio.

The terrain is hard,
which will prevent the enemy

from deploying their biggest asset-
their artillery.

And then, Bixio...

Remember that we're here
to make Italy or die.

Tiroli, come here, make those people
hear my alarm clock.

Now, my friends, let's thrash these guys.

General, should I call back that idiot?

Let him do what he has a mind to.

It's noon exactly.

No one is to fire without my order!
Shooting from afar is a sign of fear.

- Viva I'ltalia!
- Can't you keep still a moment!

Long live the King!

Look what's coming!

Let's go!

Giuseppe Garibaldi!
Don't be taken in by my cassock,

I tell you, truly,
it's more solid than your armor.

And don't mistake this cross,
it'll flare up amid the enemy

more terrible than your scimitar.
Bless you.

Attack!

With bayonets!

My carriage!

Did you communicate to Major Sforza
my order to scour the countryside,

- but not to make contact with the enemy?
- Yes, your Excellence.

And so what's he doing?

Let's go.

Major, they fight like devils!
We need reinforcements.

Calm down, let them wear themselves out.
I'll order the counterattack.

Viva Garibaldi!

Send a messenger to General Landi
asking for reinforcements immediately.

What have you done, you're crazy?

I said face the enemy calmly!

Get back in line! Take a breath,
and do exactly what I tell you!

General, they've taken our
lovely banner from Montevideo.

That's nothing. Be calm, boys.

Hurry, reinforce that position!

Fire! Fire!

Shoot accurately!
Shoot well, calmly!

Don't waste ammunition.

Major Sforza sends you this banner,
taken from the enemy.

He says to inform you that the commander
of the Italians was killed.

He asks for ammunition
and reinforcements.

What? He's taken the banner,
killed Garibaldi,

and needs reinforcements?

Trumpeter, sound the attack.

One two. One two. One two.

Forward, boys!

Fire!

Ready, Bandi?

That group, down there!

You from Bergamo, on my right,
fire calmly. Aim well!

Come on, boys, come on!

Help!

My Lady of Mount Carmel, help me!
Holy virgin, help!

Ah, help me.

Brother, don't cry so much,
it can hurt you.

Have patience like me.

My God, protect me
from this Piedmontese!

Don't kill me like a dog!

I'm God's creature, too.

Give me a priest, I want a priest!

Take a breath, relax!
One more dash and it's done!

General, look! The Sicilians are coming
down the mountain to give us a hand!

Good. Stay calm.

Sorry, I've nothing else
to leave you.

Go away, stupid! You think
I'm your priest or the bishop of Nola?

Relax, take this lemon.
It'll relieve your thirst.

Brothers of Italy

Italy has awoken!

Brothers of Italy

Italy has awoken!

With the helmet of Scipio

She's bound her head!

Boys, Garibaldi told Bixio
that here we make Italy or we die!

Viva I 'Italia!

Viva I'Italia! Viva I'Italia!

Viva Garibaldi!

Have you seen, Giuseppe Garibaldi,
what we could do?

Well done!

- They're going away.
- Defeated.

- Excuse me, is Garibaldi among you?
- Here he is.

The church is full of wounded
from the Bourbon army.

They're gravely wounded,
show them your pity.

What pity are you talking about?
These are men, like us?

They are Italians, our brothers!

Thanks. Come.

- Viva Garibaldi!
- Viva I'Italia!

Thanks.

Bravo, boys, you fought well.

My knee! Mama! Help...

Please take good care of these wounded

and tell them they'll be free to go home
or to fight with us.

And they're free even to rejoin their
regiments and fight against us again.

No! What are you doing?
What has tyranny reduced you to?

I'm just a man
who eats and drinks like you.

Let's kiss like this,
on the cheek.

We're brothers, we're equal.

If I remember right,
the temple of Segesta is near here.

You remember your classical studies, huh?

- Segesta's not far, is it?
- It's near.

- If you want, we'll take you.
- Mount, let's go.

- Here we are!
- Good thing, I was getting saddle sore.

Come on!

Let's go.

Look what they built here!

Stop, old man!

Belandi!
Let me drink, too.

Come drink! It's wine from Etna!
Wine that breaks your legs!

How is it possible that people
capable of such greatness

were reduced to such misery?

Garibaldo, help us!

The partisans attacked Landi's
column retreating from Calatafimi.

And look what the Bourbons did -
looting and slaughtering!

- Take care of this woman.
- Help, Garibaldi!

General Mechel is advancing
from Monreale.

Rosolino Pilo
was killed at the Renna pass.

The Bourbons have 20,000 men
in Palermo!

40,000! 40,000!

When Mechel left Monreale
he had 8,000 soldiers!

Bavarians! Swiss!

So, what shall we do?

Let's go inland to the mountains
and start a revolt.

No, we have to get to Palermo.

- The road's blocked.
- I know, but we have to get to Palermo.

- La Masa's waiting for us in Gibilrossa.
- True.

Orsini, take the main Corleone road
with the artillery, supplies and wounded.

- And us?
- If Mechel is hoodwinked by this,

we'll go on from Gibilrossa
to Palermo.

The General!

Viva Garibaldi!

- Dear General!
- La Masa, how's it going?

The trick worked well!

Look what the Palermo papers
published this morning.

"The troops of General Mechel

"have put Garibaldi's guerrillas
to flight on the Corleone road.

"The adventurers are dispersing
in the mountains.

"The criminals who,
when Garibaldi's bandits arrived,

"united with them
and created anarchy and thuggery,

"will be punished as an example.

"The government of His Majesty the King
guarantees the restoration of order

"as the population wishes."

Now, General, I'm sure we'll see
the end of the tyranny and hypocrisy

that calls oppression, "liberty";
and bullying, "justice";

contempt, "love";
conscience, "defeatism".

Let's hope, dear La Masa.

And now, Bixio, to Palermo!

To Palermo or to hell, General.

The garibaldeschi! The garibaldeschi!

Arm yourselves! Arm yourselves!

The garibaldeschi! The garibaldeschi!

Throw stuff down for the barricades!

- Hurry up!
- Throw down more!

Everyone help!

- Mattresses!
- Come on!

- Everything! Right now!
- To the barricades!

I'm a French journalist.

Can you tell me where
Captain Cairoli was wounded?

I don't know,
I think at the Alberghesca.

I know Missori and Captain Dazza
exploded a bomb

in the middle of a barricade.

Right over there, at the Alberghesca.

The Neapolitans, then,
had to cease fire.

- At your command, General.
- Carry on.

- Want to drink, Garubaldo?
- No, thanks, dear.

Have you deployed men
to control the entrance to the castle?

- Yes, General.
- O, my friend!

What a beautiful surprise
to find you here!

You know my friend,
Alexandre Dumas?

The author of "The Three Musketeers".

- Have you got a safe-conduct pass?
- Here, signed by the major.

Gusmaroli, make a new pass
for this illustrious poet.

Date it and write,
"Let the holder pass freely throughout Sicily

"as an illustrious man and my intimate friend,
Alexandre Dumas."

Add, "I'll be grateful to anyone
who shows him kindness."

- Keep going! Move!
- Scoundrels!

Halt! Who are you?

I'm a French journalist and he's English.
Here are our passes.

Is it true that at the Alberghesca there are
some 800 deaths among the inhabitants?

Ah, I don't know.

Can I help with anything,
signorina?

We learned that, the morning of the 27th,
some Neapolitan soldiers

found a family composed of a mother,
a father and a girl.

They killed the mother and father,

and a corporal grabbed the daughter,
called Giovannina Splendore,

- and carried her away as booty.
- I don't know about these things,

but I do know many others
which no one knows,

because they're very secret.

Want to come to my house, tonight?
Come to me. See the street?

Not the first or second or third,

but the fourth on the right.
I think it's number 11.

- I'm quartered there.
- OK.

A stretcher, hurry!

Viva I 'Italia!

We need to put them up against the wall.

They entered a hospice,

raped all the women, shut the doors
and burned it down!

Stop, I'm in command!
Stop, or you'll deal with me!

- What are you doing?
- Your Excellency, we're convicts,

we suffered in the Bourbon jails.

Arrest them,
then we'll see what they did.

- And you?
- Colonel Bixio, I know your fame.

I know your reputation, you're a hero.

Thank you.

Signor General, the Bourbon
negotiators are arriving.

To avenge our fatherland

That's what we want!

General, the Bourbon negotiators are here.

Have them come in.

In God's hands, signori.

- Please, be comfortable.
- Thanks.

Sit down.

- After you.
- Please.

Gusmaroli...

Go.

So, to what do I owe the honor
of your visit?

Signor Garibaldi, we want to put
an honorable end to so much suffering.

That's just what we propose.

Sorry, but I can only
offer my cigars.

Bad cigars from Nice.
But such is war.

- Thanks, I don't smoke.
- Thanks, neither do I.

So...

General, don't you think
it's time this ended?

I can't deny, signor Garibaldi,

that these things, fights, barricades, blood,
don't suit anybody.

- We crave for it to cease.
- Well, it's up to you.

I have full powers
to negotiate a truce.

If we conclude one,
I'll depart for Naples

and lay out the conditions
to His Majesty the King.

I'll ask him for his exact orders.

General, if we might, so to speak,
arrange conditions

that are honorable and discreet,

I'm sure, indeed,
we could come to some agreement.

I'm persuaded that with God's help
and with calm and soothed spirits...

Very good.

For my part,
we could draw up a truce right now.

- Propose your conditions.
- They're already written.

Read, Colonel.

That drinking water be restored
immediately to the castle.

- This is what we ask.
- OK, granted.

That doctors be sent to the castle
for the sick and wounded.

With all my heart!

- Prisoners be exchanged immediately.
- Certainly.

Please.

Thanks.

- Thanks.
- Yes.

And you must release the hostages
taken by General Laura in Palermo,

who are held in the castle.

For the hostages,
I don't have power to negotiate,

but I assure you on my honor, General,
that they're very well treated.

I'm certain His Majesty will set them free
as soon as I see him in Naples.

Moreover, you must vacate the city
immediately!

- But...
- Listen! These are my conditions.

Vacate the city,

withdraw the troops from the castle,

and I consent to your forming a camp
on Mount Pellegrino. Agreed?

Agreed.

The war of liberation continued.

From Palermo, Garibaldi pushed
toward Milazzo and the strait of Messina.

Viva I 'Italia!

The coasts of Calabria

appeared at last before the eyes
of the Italian liberation fighters

in all their blazing beauty.

Would Garibaldi be able
to cross that piece of sea?

Would he find the military force
and political initiative

to launch his men
against all the difficulties,

despite the plots concocted

to cause his effort to fail?

Just a short stretch of sea,
the strait of Messina,

separated the advanced point
of the revolution

from the Bourbon fortifications
of the castello of Scilla.

The flame of liberty
on the road to Naples.

- Look, the General!
- Yes, it's Garibaldi!

We completed the voyage
from Palermo to Messina in 32 hours.

At Milazzo, the weather was filthy.

I sent a longboat for news
and learned that Garibaldi, and you too,

had left two days before for Messina.

The victory of Milazzo
still seems a miracle to me.

Bosco had 5,000 men
and I don't know how much artillery.

Two field batteries
and about 30 guns in the walls.

Marvelous.

Logically, the Messina garrison
also surrendered without a fight.

In Milazzo the Bourbons had armed men,
all to their advantage.

Now they say we attacked them
with 10,000 men, powerfully armed.

- With those two big cannon of ours!
- How great, the General!

But not an equally great politician.

What I fear is that, when there's truce,
politics will peep out also among us.

- Some want to kill the campaign.
- They plot to keep us here.

And some Sicilians want
immediate union with Piedmont.

- The General's gloomy and pensive.
- As well he might be!

But I'm sure he won't listen
to his overly prudent advisers.

Sure. He won't want to break off halfway
through achieving the goal of his life!

But who's that?

Indeed, who's that?

Here we are.

Come in, please.

Who's he?

He behaves like an officer
in civilian clothes.

Please.

I've the honor to consign to you
these letters from His Majesty.

Shh! Quiet. Give me something to drink,
my throat's dry.

Who is he?

- Vittorio Emanuele's aid.
- Ah!

- Do you know what His Majesty asks me?
- He asks you not to cross the strait.

You know he wasn't able to approve
your expedition.

He wants to distance himself from it.

- He's a good man, Vittorio Emanuele.
- You've gone from victory to victory.

It's known what grave dangers
you've run.

His Majesty, in Turin,
told me his concern

for the difficulties of landing
on the Calabrian coast.

Francesco ll still has a powerful army
and the Neapolitan fleet is intact.

I don't hide the difficulties from myself,

but when a people want liberty,
no amount of soldiers are enough!

His Majesty
has written to you as king,

but I believe I can tell you
that if you disobey him

because duties to Italy force you to...

I've always said Vittorio Emanuele
is a very good man.

Too bad he's so badly surrounded.

Thanks.

Tell him...

I'll give you my reply
to His Majesty.

Gusmaroli! Gusmaroli!

' See you!
" Go!

- What happened?
- We'd like to know.

Menotti, go to your father.

Try to find out, so we can understand.
Explain our feelings to him.

- Yes, go.
- Yes, I'm going.

Come in.

- What is it, Menotti?
- Nothing.

Nothing, Father.

When are we going to Calabria?

- When?
- Yes, when?

Father, this is what our men are asking,
they're languishing.

- A few bits of sea, and Italy!
- I know! But they're well fortified.

The artillery's ready,
20,000 men are waiting for us!

Yes, we know.

And crossing the strait means
carrying the flame of revolution

into continental Europe.

Did you know that Napoleon Ill
has asked the English navy

to help them block us in Sicily?

So we have to act quick, before...

I know, I know.

But I don't think England
will go along with this request.

It's true waiting's full of perils,
but I have other worries.

I cannot lead my men and all of you
to a massacre!

Father, we're ready
to risk everything!

The Sicilians want immediate
union with Piedmont

to secure the liberty
that's been captured.

Yes, I know.

If annexation is proclaimed,

Cavour will immediately send
the Piedmontese army to Palermo.

And then what would become of Italy?

- If you don't dare to do it, who will?
- Yes, I know we have to try!

How heavy it is, my son,
to carry all these responsibilities.

So?

So...

this is the answer that I've prepared
for Vittorio Emanuele.

"Sire, Your Majesty knows

"with how much affection and reverence
I am filled for your person

"and how much I long to obey you.

"Yet you must understand in what
embarrassment it would place me today

"to have a passive attitude in face
of the people of the Neapolitan continent

"whom I've been obliged
to hold back for some time

"and whom I promised
immediate support.

"Italy would call me to account
for my passivity

"and would claim immense damages.

"On termination of my mission,
I shall depose at the feet of Your Majesty

"the authority which circumstances
have conferred on me

"and I shall be very fortunate to obey
for the rest of my life."

Have this letter delivered
to Litta Modignani in Messina.

Father...

My young friend, is Musolino certain
the conspirators will let us in

- at the gates of the Scilla fortress?
- Yes.

- And if the thing doesn't succeed?
- We'd at least have gotten

the Bourbon forces to flow toward Soilla
or up the Aspromonte,

where we could withdraw,
while you, farther south...

- And you're ready to try?
- Yes, General.

I can cross the strait tonight.

During the night, a storm
caught the young Calabrese.

Anxiously, he struggled
against the fury of the elements.

Dawn surprised him
still far from the coasts of Calabria,

which he reached by swimming, so as
not to be spotted by the Bourbon lookouts.

He knew the conspirators in Calabria

were waiting for him anxious
to move into action.

The revolt was spreading
even into Bourbon ranks.

Rosa!

- Rosa, you know who I am.
- No, I don't know.

- You mean to say you've never seen me?
- No, never.

- I'm the son of Baron Plutino.
- I don't want to know.

Rosa!

I have to contact someone in town.

At least your father.

- So someone will know I'm here.
- He will know.

- You should tell him...
- I know what to tell him.

Rosa...

- Cover yourself!
- Ah, yes.

I've done it. Covered myself.

Hide here.
Scilla's full of soldiers and police.

Everyone in town knows
you were with Gallubardo.

- So you do know who I am?
- No. I've never seen you.

I'll go see my father

and you wait here.

I've never seen you.

And I know what I'm saying.

Baron Plutino's son
is on the beach at Fiumare Alta.

- I saw him and said I'd tell you.
- Ah.

And so?

Get my hooded cloak, the fraternity one,
and take it to him.

At five o'clock,
it's the San Rocco procession.

- Understand?
- Yes.

Don't let the habit be seen.

I won't let it be seen.

- San Rocco, make your miracle happen!
- Make a miracle happen.

Shh!

Come in.

Last one close the door.

Come inside.

Come on.

Master of Ceremonies...

- ls everyone ready?
- Everyone.

- Are we happy to convene the meeting?
- Very happy.

Brothers and companions,
I humbly declare this session open.

Grace and favor.

- As you were.
- Grace and favor.

Master of Ceremonies,
with words of humility,

your brother and companion
asks you to form a circle.

Right away. Sit down.

The Society of the brothers of Montalbano
is at your disposal, Bellintrino.

- I thank you and all the society.
- Grace and favor.

Brothers, 250 men sent by Garibaldi

will cross the strait to seize the fort.

Garibaldi is counting on us.
Brothers, we must help him.

And we shall help him!

- Who will come with me to the mountain?
- Him.

We'll make a big fire up there.

It's the signal for those
on the other side to depart.

- When they land...
- One moment.

Beach, town, coast are guarded.

They're on their guard. There are soldiers
and police everywhere.

Yes, we know. As soon as the Garibaldini
land and engage in combat,

our men in the fort
will have to open the way for them.

The Calabrese conspirators
will take the fort.

With its artillery, we'll protect the landing
of the majority of Garibaldi's forces.

Let's go.

One moment. Go through the garden,
over the wall.

He'll show you the safest way.
Come on.

Let's go.

Take care, eh?

Go on.

Good night.

Let's go.

A girl on duty mustn't have ears!

We're ready,
the men are blocking the streets.

So?

- Can we begin, Commander?
- Let's begin!

Open up in the name of the law!
Open!

- What do you want?
- Shut up you!

- What have you done to my father?
- Silence!

- Luigi Spezzano, come with us!
- Why, what have I done?

Who wears the beard,
sooner or later ends up in jail.

Quick, get my shawl.

Go on, take him away!

- Don't leave the baby alone.
- Where are you going?

"A girl on duty mustn't have ears,"
and don't I know it!

But if she didn't, there'd be trouble.

Rosa!

Shush, don't cry!

Who goes there?

- Take arms!
- Who goes there?

Viva I 'Italia!

Forward!

Farther south, Garibaldi,
aboard two steamboats,

passed into Calabria
with the majority of his forces

and carried out a surprise attack
on the Bourbons.

Forward, march!

I see horses advancing!

They're red shirts.

- Ready?
- Attention.

- Attention, boys!
- Ready?

Yes, yes!

They've been practicing
"The Garubaldo Hymn."

Greetings, hero.
The city awaits you in celebration.

You come to liberate us
from the Bourbon tyranny

and we cry with faith,
”Viva I'Italia! Viva Garubaldo!”

The beautiful sight
of these exceptional men,

fills my heart with songs
that I want to sing - lots of songs.

They're simple and true,

taken from here and there,
written without any pretense,

yet they speak from the heart.

The city is in celebration!
It awaits you, General Garubaldo!

Thanks, thanks.

Viva I 'Italia!

Run, Garibaldi's coming!

Garibaldi's arrived!

- Space! Space!
- Back!

- Garibaldi, we want justice!
- Make way! Silence!

- Back! Enough!
- Look what the Bourbon soldiers have done!

- They've robbed all our things!
- They've stolen our cows!

Enough! Keep silent!

You unworthy sons of Italy,
give back what you stole!

We don't want to consider you
defeated enemies,

we want to have you in our ranks,
to call you brothers,

to have you as companions
in great and glorious battles!

We want to go home!
We don't want to fight more!

Me too! I want to go home!

- I have three children!
- Enough! Shame on you, men without faith!

I'd rather you were enemies
than to see you as cowards!

We'd treat you like brothers
and you oblige us to treat you as defeated!

Bandi, Sirtori, Gusmaroli, Menotti,
take charge of these men.

Confiscate their arms,
ammunition, horses, mules!

Return the stolen goods
to their owners.

Those who want to fight
for a united Italy united and for liberty

are welcome to join our ranks
as brothers!

The others, whom we could keep prisoners,
let them go home instead!

Go! We're not afraid of cowards.

Let them go home to tell
of the generosity of the strong!

Meanwhile in Naples,

King Francesco II
prepared to abandon the palace

and withdraw to Gaeta.

- Your Majesty.
- Thank you.

You see, I'm leaving
to keep the promise

to save Naples
from the horrors of the war.

Our Don Peppino is at the door.

I shall never forget
your fidelity to me.

And wanting you to cherish that memory,
I've named you knights of San Gennaro.

Don Libb, watch your neck!

Sire, I'll do everything possible
not to lose my head.

Don Miché, I congratulate you.

You've served your country very well.

I'm conscious of having served
Your Majesty as well.

Had you done me the honor
of listening to my counsels,

you would not find yourself
in this position.

You dream of Italy and Vittorio Emanuele,
but alas, you'll be unhappy.

Our vision is short-sighted.

The future is known only to God.

May Your Majesty leave in peace
and be sure that your fellow citizens

shall not forget that Your Majesty,
by his withdrawal,

spared the city the horrors
of civil war.

- Let's hope so.
- Her Majesty the Queen!

Gentlemen, we'll meet again formally
on the Volturno.

We'll be back soon, it's not goodbye.

- How sad to be leaving.
- Let's put on a brave face.

I thank you in the name of Italians

and all humanity for the sublime act
which today you perform.

For good reason you're right
to rejoice on this day,

when the tyranny
that weighed on us now ends

and a new era of liberty begins.

I thank you for this reception,
not for me,

but in the name of the unified Italy
which you are building

through your cooperation.

It's not just Italy that thanks you,
but the whole of Europe!

O bravo, Bandi!
Finally you're in Naples, too!

Yes sir, General!

See what I'm reduced to?
I'm suffocating in paper.

In war all goes well,
at least as long as you're winning.

Here everything goes badly,
even if you try to do well.

You've no idea
what I brought upon myself

by naming that poor Dumas
superintendent of museums.

One has to have patience!
Let's forget about it.

But go change, I see you need to.

I need a thousand years
to change skin.

I feel ashamed to be dressed like this
in such a beautiful city.

- It's a capital, decorum is called for.
- I'll do my best.

They tell me everywhere in Naples
people are selling Garibaldi uniforms. True?

Yes, so I've been told.
I need one too.

- So go and come back quick, I need you.
- As you command.

- Do you have red shirts?
- No.

Who told you to make them like that?

Who knew how you Garibaldini dressed?
We had to invent.

Shirts like this.

We don't have any. Look farther on,
maybe you'll find them.

- Let's go, Menotti.
- Good day.

- Did you hear?
- What?

The Piedmontese troops
under Generals Fanti and Cialdini

have crossed the borders
of the Papal States.

We were just talking about it.

It's clear they're heading
for the Neapolitan states.

- Certainly.
- What does that mean?

Cavour wants to come
straighten us out?

This could prevent us marching
on Rome and Venice.

What will happen?
Will we be forced into civil war?

Cavour hates us,
he's in sight of his goal

and will knock down
any obstacle in his way.

He doesn't want to be second
to anyone.

I'm sure our leader,
who'd give anything to avoid civil war,

will take Cavour into account.

And pressure is building on the Volturna,
with Francesco H's army.

You'll see it increase now.

The Bourbon line is solid
from Caiazzo to Castel Volturno,

their advance posts
are three miles from Caserta,

the cavalry patrols much closer.

They'll try an offensive
to take back Naples,

and won't hang around
for Vittorio Emanuele.

That's why those faithful to Cavour,
like Agostino Depretis,

who's been imposed
as deputy dictator of Sicily,

demand the annexation of the island
to Vittorio Emanuele,

without waiting for Garibaldi
to complete his project.

We expect the worst.

I'm telling you,
I fear for Garibaldi's life.

Anything's possible.

Getting rid of him suits the Bourbons,
Cavour, Austria, Napoleon.

Everyone!

We must keep our eyes open.

Who's there?

Someone's asking for you.

Bring him in.

- Major Bandi?
- I am.

- Take this letter which is for you.
- Thank you.

See him out.

What is it?

A letter from Mazzini addressed to me.
He's come to Naples.

When did he arrive?

Yesterday or today.
He just got here.

This is not entirely good.

Imagine how dangerous it'll look to anyone
wanting annexation to Piedmont!

Or to those who shout up and down
at any mention of annexation.

Should I wake the general?

He's hardly slept two hours,
let him rest.

I don't think he'll thank you
when you announce this 'good' news.

Band“. Band“.!

Come in.

Sorry, did I ask you to wake me at 3:00?

- Yes, General.
- Fine. Good night.

- General...
- What?

Would you like to know
who's arrived in Naples?

Mazzini!

Right.

He's just sent me this letter.

I will go at dawn to the Caserta front.

I'm sure the Bourbons
are preparing to attack us.

If it turns out to be nothing serious,

I'll come back to Naples early afternoon.

Tell Mazzini...

Tell him I'll greet him
as a brother ought to greet a brother.

As you command, signor General!

It's been 10 years!

I really didn't believe

anyone could raise Sicily
with just a thousand men.

You've demonstrated the contrary.

I was wrong and am happy
I can tell you so, with all humility.

But I'm certain I'm not wrong today,

in reminding you that without Rome
there can't be unity.

Because Rome is the only,
the true capital of Italy.

- Now Rome matters.
- Yes, Rome.

The most moving,

most precious,

most stimulating dream of my life,
and it always has been.

But Cavour...

Do you wish to forget that with 1000 men
you conquered a kingdom?

And that you really have it in your hands
to offer it to Vittorio Emanuele?

Do you realize
what you represent for Italians?

Today you are omnipotent.

Ask the King firmly
for the removal of Cavour.

I already have.

Just two weeks ago I wrote to the King,
and related for the first time

the outrageous deeds perpetrated
by Cavour, Farini, and their friends.

And I added,

"Today as we approach the expansion
of the great Italian drama,

"I must implore Your Majesty,

"for the sake of the holy cause
of the unity of Italy,

"to remove these individuals."

Good. And then?

In response, the Piedmontese troops
were ordered to cross the Marche

to bring us under their control.

Did you ever think you'd see
the King's army invade the Papal States,

fight the papists at Castelfidardo,

or bombard Ancona from land and sea?

I didn't, that's for sure.

When I heard, I was as happy
as I always am

when someone does something
against the enemies of Italy.

But let's not hide the fact
that the Piedmontese are coming south

with the intention
of blocking the road to Rome.

It's the price Cavour pays Napoleon Ill.

But we can't abandon Rome and Venice
to the Pope and the Austrians

at a time when all the liberal minds
of Europe await Italy's contribution.

I know, I know.

Cavour is basing his plans
on the consolidation of the monarchy,

not on the expansion of democracy.

He wants to put the banner of Italian unity
back into Piedmonte's hands.

He wants to wipe out the myth of Garibaldi,
the people's hero,

which casts a shadow on the figure
of the King. Of his King.

A few nights ago, I heard someone scream,
"Viva Italy unity, death to Mazzini!"

As if I were the enemy of Italian unity.

Indeed.

I don't know what the immediate future
holds for us,

but one thing must be clear from now on:

even if circumstances force us to put off
the liberation of Rome and Venice,

no one can call it a renunciation,

but only a conscious, though bitter,
sacrifice for the unity and peace of Italians!

- Certainly. Civil war, never!
- Don't forget, dear Mazzini,

that Piedmont is the sole Italian state
with an organized military force,

and that I liberated the south with the cry,
"ltaly and Vittorio Emanuele!"

But Rome matters!

Rome matters!

We'll need a miracle at Volturno.

Dear Garibaldi,

you've delivered a mortal blow
to the Bourbon army

from Marsala to Naples.

You can't doubt now
that there will be a decisive victory.

The soldiers rallied round Francesco ll,
beyond the Volturno,

are the best part
of the Bourbon army.

They're more than 50,000.
They're the most faithful, the most expert.

Fanaticized by their officers
and chaplains.

The King has issued a proclamation
promising the troops freedom to pillage

if Naples is liberated on his birthday,
the day after tomorrow.

The situation is critical.
I can't and mustn't hide it from you.

I only have 20,000 badly armed men.

Half of them will be facing enemy fire
for the first time.

Until yesterday I could count on surprise,
today that's no longer the case.

Our first pitched battle awaits us.

If they manage to break through,
Naples is lost.

See there, General,
a mass of troops are forming in Capua.

- We should bombard the city.
- Bombard it with a civilian population?

Better to lose a battle!

Don't fire back!

Watch out down there!

Hooray for Italian unity!

Lieutenant!

Lieutenant!

Attack!
Push back those bastards!

Bixio, where's Bixio?

Down there, General.

You all right?

It's nothing, General.
The horse is dead, that's all.

Get back up, Bixio, I need you!
My horse! My horse!

Fire!

Fire!

My friend and brother in arms,
Vecchi,

has sent me a letter
for Garibaldi in Turin.

"Friends and admirers congratulate you
on the great victory at Volturno

"and exhort you to write yourselves
to Vittorio Emanuele to come to Naples.

"Don't wait until the King arrives.

"Take the initiative and send
an open telegram to the King in Ancona.

"Then make official contact with him
in person.

"That way, you'll triumph over your enemies,
and no one will be in any doubt

"that the King's sudden presence
was desired."

This letter's clearly dictated by Cavour!

But here in Naples
discord and agitation reign.

And who's the cause of it?

The same ones who don't want us
to march on Rome and Venice!

Who didn't want to have us
go to Sicily,

or cross the strait and
chase away Francesco ll!

They want to march on Naples
to take control of Garibaldi.

They consider us a nest of red republicans
and socialist demagogues!

And they want to throw us
into the sea.

I've said it before, the truth is that Cavour,
doesn't want to be second to anyone.

Cavour has always been urging
Vittorio Emanuele to cut ties with Garibaldi.

He wants him to occupy Naples.

They want to take over
the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies

that we, thanks to the genius of our leader,
have conquered.

- We'll march on Rome! Viva Garibaldi!
- Viva Garibaldi!

Signori! Signori!

Menotti!

Hate, envy, jealousy don't matter.

Our sight must always be directed
to the unity of Italy.

The battle of the Volturno was
a defensive battle, not offensive.

It saved Naples from
the return of the Bourbons,

but didn't destroy the Neapolitan army,

which is still 40,000 strong
between Capua and Gaeta.

Also Mazzini urges me, pushes me,
to make a run to Rome

my very first goal upon entering Naples.

But how can I abandon
the Neapolitan army?

Gentlemen, we shall go to Rome,
but take our time doing it.

It's impossible right now.

For the greater good of Italy.

I've signed the following decree.

"Italy and Vittorio Emanuele.

"To fill a vow dear to the entire nation,

"I, the dictator, decree:

"The Two Sicilies, which to Italian blood
owe their ransom,

"are part of Italy one and indivisible,

"with its constitutional King Vittorio Emanuele
and his descendants.

"I shall depose into the King's hand,
on his arrival,

"the dictatorship conferred on me
by the nation.

"The deputy dictators are charged
with execution of the present decree.

"Giuseppe Garibaldi."

Let's see what time it is.

You who are young, go up the road
to see what's happening.

I'm quite anxious to meet
Vittorio Emanuele.

Who knows, surely by now
he can't be far away.

Coming from Venafro, he'd certainly
have spent the night in Presenzano.

Isn't it humid this morning?

With my rheumatism.

See?

See how humid it is?

- General.
- What is it?

Listen.

General, he's coming back.

Don't you hear the trumpet
sounding far away?

General, the King's coming.

I saw the Piedmontese on horses.
I heard trumpets.

Quick, mount up!

I salute the first King of Italy!

Thank you.
How are you, dear Garibaldi?

Fine, Your Majesty. And you?

Very good.

Sire, when I landed on Sicilian soil
and assumed the dictatorship,

I did so in your name.

I fulfill, today, my heart's vow.

I hand over to you power
over millions of Italians,

tormented till a few months ago
by a savage despotism.

Thank you.

Viva the King of Italy!

Here's Vittorio Emanuele, our King!
King of Italy!

Viva Garibaldi, Viva Garibaldi!

Francesco ll, with the soldiers
that remain to him,

is preparing for battle, once again,
at Garigliano.

I ask Your Majesty, for the honor
of the first clash, for my men and for me!

You've been fighting a long time,
it's my turn now.

Your troops are tired, mine are fresh.

Place yourselves with the reserves.

Viva Garibaldi!

Viva Garibaldi! Viva!

We salute you, General!

Might I have some cold water?

Certainly, General Garibaldi.
It's an honor for us!

If you'll permit me,
I'd like to offer you something.

Here, eat this, it's fresh.

For you too.

Put it here, Don Peppi!

They told me

that now we have to place ourselves
with the reserves.

After consigning to Vittorio Emanuele ll

the kingdom he had liberated
from the Bourbons,

Garibaldi went back to his island,
Caprera.

Viva the General!
Viva Italy united!

Viva I'Italia! Viva Garibaldi!

We'll meet again...

in Rome!
