Unification of Italy

Garibaldi sailed from Genoa and landed again at Palermo

Jun, 1862
Palermo, Italy

In June 1862, he sailed from Genoa and landed again at Palermo, where he gathered volunteers for the campaign, under the slogan o Roma o Morte. The garrison of Messina, loyal to the king's instructions, barred their passage to the mainland. Garibaldi's force, now numbering two thousand, turned south and set sail from Catania.
