Pépin Garibaldi is, according to Max Gallo, a famous writer and academician from Nice, the “only Niçois truly popular in the world”.
Moreover, he dedicated a book to him with an evocative title: “Garibaldi, the strength of a destiny”.
Who can claim the definition of “Hero of the Two Worlds”?
And yet, on the occasion of the 211th anniversary of his birth, no official event was organized by the municipal authorities, only the friendly association “Républica de Nissa” paid tribute to him in front of his statue on the square that bears his name.
How can this be understood?
Giuseppe Garibaldi, born in Nice on July 4, 1807, and died in Caprera (Kingdom of Italy) on June 2, 1882, was an Italian politician, nicknamed the Hero of the Two Worlds.
He died on June 2, 1882, on the island of Caprera.
Symbolic testament of Garibaldi: “I bequeath: my love for Liberty and Truth; my hatred of lies and tyranny”.
