More from Giuseppe Garibaldi
I love and venerate the religion of Christ, because Christ came into the world to deliver humanity from slavery, for which God has not created it.
You who are here—you, the educated and cultivated portion of the citizenship—you have the duty to educate the people.
To arms all!—all!—and the oppressors, the supremely powerful, shall be turned into dust.
On a strong and wholesome education of the people depend the liberty and greatness of Italy.
