For Italians, he is a patriot who contributed to the achievement of the Italian unification and liberation from foreign rule.
For Uruguayans, he was a commander in a war of liberation from Argentina.
For Americans, a soldier who volunteered his services to Abraham Lincoln in the Civil War.
For people all over the world, his name is a symbol of a battle for liberty and justice, independence of peoples and women's emancipation.
When he was born there wasn't Italy but small separate states. What he had learnt in South America about warfare techniques, he successfully applied in his homeland against the big neighboring powers. Thus unified Italy came true in the end.
Why am I referring to Garibaldi now? Well, a person needs a figure to inspire them sometimes. And Garibaldi was not only a great master of warfare, but I reckon that his ideas about liberation of people's mind from prejudices (religious, racial and others) was one of the reasons for his charm and power.
Today, you can find so many places around the world dedicated to his name: streets, squares, plaques... In Savona, his monument can be seen in the sea garden, next to Priamar Fortress. The square has a direct connection to a public beach where you can enjoy the beautiful Ligurian Sea.
