The Rock of Quarto - Where Garibaldi Sailed

If your bus extends along the coast (or if you stay on Corso Europa), you reach Quarto dei Mille.

The Night of May 5, 1860

Giuseppe Garibaldi and about a thousand volunteers ("I Mille") stole two steamships and sailed from the Scoglio di Quarto to Sicily.

• The Result: The unification of Italy.

The Monument

There is a stark, powerful monument on the rocks. It is a place of pilgrimage for patriots. Even if you just see it from the road, it's a pivotal coordinate in European history.
