More from Giuseppe Garibaldi
It is the Pope-king who retards the moment of the complete liberation of Italy.
You who are here—you, the educated and cultivated portion of the citizenship—you have the duty to educate the people.
You have conquered, and you will conquer, because you are now trained to the tactics which decide battles.
