00:00:19Satsang with Mooji
00:00:35One hundred years ago, Italy was not a united country as it is today.
00:00:39It was divided into separate states, governed by independent rulers or foreign viceroys,
00:00:45most of whom were content with the way things were.
00:00:48The king of Sardinia and Piedmont, however, by name Victor Emmanuel,
00:00:52had greater ambitions, encouraged by his prime minister, Cavour.
00:00:57Their idea was to unite Italy under their own rule.
00:01:00To do this, they would have to conquer Venice,
00:01:04the central band of states held by the Pope at Rome,
00:01:06and the kingdom of Naples and Sicily to the south.
00:01:10This kingdom had as its ruler the Bourbon Francis II.
00:01:13He was young and good-hearted, but powerless in the hands of corrupt prime ministers and generals.
00:01:20All over his kingdom, people wanted to throw off his government
00:01:24and unite with the northern states, whether in a kingdom or a republic, was not important.
00:01:29If only Italy could be free and won.
00:01:33In Palermo, the capital of Sicily,
00:01:36a group of conspirators was gathered in the cellar of a monastery
00:01:40early one morning in spring,
00:01:43waiting to begin the revolt that would lead to freedom.
00:01:49What time is it?
00:01:50You've got the watch, haven't you?
00:02:01It's now ten minutes after six.
00:02:04What time sunrise?
00:02:05The sacristan is going to give us a signal at sunrise.
00:02:08I know.
00:02:16Listen, it's him coming.
00:02:30The monastery's all surrounded.
00:02:32What?
00:02:32We're surrounded.
00:02:33Surrounded by who?
00:02:34Policemen, spies, soldiers.
00:02:36Oh, yes.
00:02:36Let's stay here and hide.
00:02:37We'll be safe this way.
00:02:38And the rest of them who are waiting for the signal to begin,
00:02:40the ones at Polaro and the ones at St. Anna.
00:02:42Then what shall we do?
00:02:43That's all, Lee.
00:02:44You go ahead of us to the bell tower and start ringing the bell.
00:02:47The square's not big.
00:02:48If we can manage to surprise the spies and soldiers,
00:02:51we'll be able to reach the streets.
00:02:52Then we can get people to join us.
00:02:53Let's go.
00:02:54Come on.
00:02:54Down with the boys.
00:03:01Shh.
00:03:02Be quiet.
00:03:03Close the trap door.
00:03:04Hurry.
00:03:05Hurry on up.
00:03:05Quick and come on.
00:03:13Bring the flag.
00:03:14Get a move on.
00:03:17Hurry.
00:03:23You go and send us to the bell tower.
00:03:25Be quiet.
00:03:25Go this way.
00:03:26We'll go out to the courtyard.
00:03:28Come on.
00:03:28Hurry.
00:03:30Hurry.
00:03:31Hurry.
00:03:32Hurry.
00:03:34Hurry.
00:03:37Hurry.
00:03:38Hurry.
00:03:58Hurry.
00:03:58Get the flag out.
00:04:06You over there, ready.
00:04:34Fire!
00:04:36Fire!
00:04:38Move on, man!
00:04:41Over there!
00:04:58Shoot him now!
00:05:01Fire!
00:05:22Right about face!
00:05:25Front rank, kneel.
00:05:27Ready.
00:05:29Aim!
00:05:32Fire!
00:05:39I've got a right to go free!
00:05:41I'm not dead!
00:05:43I've got a right to go free!
00:05:45Fire free!
00:05:52The cries of these martyrs to freedom and national unity were not to go unheeded.
00:05:58In Genoa, a man named Giuseppe Garibaldi had heard them.
00:06:04Garibaldi had already fought many battles in the cause of United Italy.
00:06:08He had helped to make a republic with its capital at Rome for a short while, but the forces of
00:06:13reaction and even Cavour had soon put an end to that brief moment of freedom.
00:06:20Now, Garibaldi was more cautious in his actions, and yet he could not ignore the meaning of the conspiracy in
00:06:26Palermo.
00:06:27He began to be surrounded by adherents of Italian unity.
00:06:31To certain men who had fought with him before, but who were now in other armies, he sent his trusted
00:06:36agents to find out which ones were willing to leave everything and fight with him again.
00:07:04Here he is. We've brought him.
00:07:05Oh, Giuseppe Garibaldi. It's good to see you.
00:07:08I'm glad to find you well, General.
00:07:10Hello, Nino.
00:07:11Hello, no.
00:07:13Guzmaroli, I can imagine, has told you why you're here.
00:07:15No.
00:07:16Sit down, then.
00:07:18I was sitting in a cafe in Alessandria when I found him standing in front of me. The General wants
00:07:22you. Come on. He didn't even allow me to go home. He dragged me to the station, pushed me under
00:07:26the first train, and here I am.
00:07:27May I go now, General?
00:07:28Yes.
00:07:31You've never lost contact with your companions in Siena?
00:07:34Of course not.
00:07:36Then you must go down there to make recruits. Push all the way down the valley into Umbria. Win over
00:07:42everyone that's possible. Push on to Perugia to find out if the people of Perugia are willing to fight for
00:07:49liberty.
00:07:52But to be able to do this, you say I need money and firearms.
00:07:56Well, General, they'd do all that without money and arms.
00:07:59What are you saying? Do those people want to help or not? If they really want to, a few sticks
00:08:05and stones would be sufficient.
00:08:06Of course they'd be sufficient with you directing the music.
00:08:09You mean you don't want to go?
00:08:10Why don't you go? I don't want to see myself in cartoons. Hear people say that out of conceit I
00:08:14lied to Garabaldi.
00:08:18Blessed Florentines! Do-nothings and cowards!
00:08:25Don't listen to him. We all know what he's like. Never manages to be calm for long.
00:08:31Anyway, at this moment, he's only useful for attracting attention elsewhere.
00:08:40We'll talk about it tomorrow. Yes, General, but-
00:08:43Will you also take care to leave me your address?
00:08:49But tonight you must sleep over there, on that couch.
00:08:52Gotta tell you the truth. I ought to go back to Alessandria.
00:08:55If I don't show up at barracks, I'll be considered a desert.
00:08:58Don't worry about it.
00:09:01You're staying with me.
00:09:04Do you know where we're bound?
00:09:05No, General.
00:09:08We're bound for Sicily.
00:09:10Sicily?
00:09:12Palermo has risen.
00:09:14The revolt is spreading over the island.
00:09:18The Bourbon Kingdom is falling to pieces.
00:09:22And then, all roads do lead to Rome.
00:09:26I don't know how a road going through Sicily can be the most erect.
00:09:30And I doubt whether it is the smoothest road.
00:09:34Italians, the Sicilians are battling the enemies of Italy for Italy.
00:09:40Italians, every citizen has the duty to go to their aid,
00:09:44with words and guns and money.
00:09:46Above all, with force of decision.
00:09:49A host of brave soldiers, my tried companions on the field of furious battle,
00:09:54are marching with me to the rescue.
00:09:57Italy knows who they are.
00:09:58They're the same men who have never failed us in the hour of peril.
00:10:02True-hearted and brave comrades.
00:10:04They have dedicated their lives to their homeland.
00:10:08They will give her their last drop of blood,
00:10:11without thought of other reward than a stainless conscience.
00:10:18Italy and Victor Emmanuel, that was their cry when they crossed the Ticino.
00:10:22Italy and Victor Emmanuel will fill the air of Sicily from cavern to mountain peak.
00:10:29At this fateful call to war, echoing from the northern ranges of Italy to Rome itself,
00:10:35the tottering throne of tyranny will fall.
00:10:38And to a man, the courageous sons of Sicily will rise in triumph.
00:10:44To arms, once and for all, put an end to the misery of so many centuries.
00:10:49Be it proved to all the world, O Roman children,
00:10:53that your living in this, our Italy, has not been a lie.
00:10:57Hooray!
00:11:02Excuse me. I'm a newspaper man. It's urgent.
00:11:05I was here before you were.
00:11:06Yes, you were. Please.
00:11:12One moment, please.
00:11:16Listen to what's in this telegram.
00:11:17Times, London.
00:11:19Garibaldi embarked tonight with an army of 1,000 volunteers on two ships Vixio requisitioned.
00:11:23Stop. Believe General wants to set his compass for Sicily. Stop.
00:11:26Feelings in diplomatic and political circles running high. Stop.
00:11:29We'll send details.
00:11:30Quick, put it ahead of the others.
00:11:40The march toward Italian unity was underway.
00:11:43All over Italy, all over Europe, people held their breath in suspense.
00:11:49Cabour and Victor Emmanuel had not been informed of the attack on Sicily.
00:11:53Although Garibaldi had used the king's name as his rallying cry,
00:11:57would he still be faithful to monarchy if he conquered Sicily?
00:12:02From Naples, the young Bourbon king sent one of his older and supposedly more experienced generals,
00:12:07named Landy, to meet the 1,000 volunteers and stop them
00:12:11from bringing aid to the patriots in Palermo and throughout the island.
00:12:16I've come to tell your excellency everything we've been able to learn.
00:12:20The brigands disembarked at Marsala towards midday on the 11th of May.
00:12:24That much is known by everyone.
00:12:26Their army has around 1,000 men, most of them ordinary people.
00:12:30They say a few are wearing strange uniforms, but ordinary people still.
00:12:34And it's said, uh, they're commanded by a certain, a certain, uh, Garubardo.
00:12:41Garubardo. They're not too sure of what he's called.
00:12:43Oh, yes they are. Garibaldi.
00:12:46Your excellency knows everything then, huh?
00:12:47Don't you worry about what I know.
00:12:49You tell me what you know, if you please.
00:12:51Oh, they're badly armed, your excellency. That much I can guarantee you.
00:12:55Got two very old cannons, and a couple of big guns, a lot older even.
00:12:59They loaded them onto carts they sold at Marsala, and now they're having trouble hauling them.
00:13:04Yes, sir. And last night they slept at Rampigallo, on the land of Baron Mistretta.
00:13:10His nephew, Antonio Forte, is his name, your excellency.
00:13:14And, don't believe I won't catch up with him, your excellency, when the time comes for traitors.
00:13:19Well, anyway, this Forte gave them a pile of supplies enough to last them the whole week.
00:13:23And where are they right now?
00:13:24Along the road to Saleni, excellency.
00:13:26Are you telling the truth?
00:13:27Oh, your excellency, my word of honor.
00:13:30This is where they are, general.
00:13:35Adamo! Adamo!
00:13:38Garibaldi's at Salemi!
00:13:40Round up everybody you can. Go down to the mill and get all of the flour. Quick!
00:13:47Turidu! Turidu!
00:13:50Here I am. What is it?
00:13:52To the mill, quick!
00:13:53I'm going to Garibaldi at Salemi.
00:13:55Peputo!
00:13:58Get down to the mill, quick!
00:14:03Throw that one over there!
00:14:12Another guard up there!
00:14:13Go on, go on! He'll lead you to the hiding place!
00:14:26And, don't try to pretend that you were ignorant of these peasants' intention to attack and sack that man.
00:14:31No.
00:14:32I'm a military tactician, not a policeman, but I should send you to the firing squad.
00:14:36And, father, that goes for you too.
00:14:38Yes, father. We've got a belly full of priests and friars, stirring up rebellion against his majesty.
00:14:46I ain't religion you're teaching to people!
00:14:48I can't see how we're supposed to be responsible to you in such things.
00:14:53And may I also remind you that I don't accept observations from anyone else but my bishop.
00:14:58Well now, we'll soon be hearing you quote St. Thomas on the rights of people to assassinate tyrants, won't we?
00:15:07I don't believe I have to quote him. You already know what he says.
00:15:11Fine.
00:15:13Starting from today, if my troops don't get the flour they need, the two of you will answer for it.
00:15:17You may go.
00:15:24Bring in that captain again.
00:15:25Yes, sir.
00:15:34Excellency, Garibaldi and his outlaws have left Selenia and are going towards Vita.
00:15:58That's it there, General. That's the road that goes to Palermo.
00:16:03Between here and there, the land lies all the same way. Up and down hills and mountains.
00:16:11You see that hill over there?
00:16:13The one where my men are?
00:16:14Right.
00:16:16Well, above it and behind is Kalatafimi.
00:16:19See?
00:16:21It's the town where General Landy and his troops arrived last night.
00:16:24Are there many troops?
00:16:26Yes, sir.
00:16:29What are they doing?
00:16:30Those vagabonds.
00:16:32Are they eating?
00:16:33Looks like they've come down here for a picnic.
00:16:35Well, we'll give them a better appetite.
00:16:37Make their stomachs bigger by a hole or two.
00:16:40Or give them a shot to help them digest.
00:16:42Look at them. Look at them.
00:16:45Ragpickers scum.
00:16:48Here's some bread, a piece of cheese and a few olives.
00:16:50Fine for me.
00:16:55Thanks.
00:16:56Does anyone happen to have some salt?
00:16:58Sure, General.
00:17:00Here's some.
00:17:01Any thanks.
00:17:07The Sicilian bread is good.
00:17:19They blow a good bugle, don't they?
00:17:22Why don't I let them hear our sounds?
00:17:24Where's my bugler?
00:17:28General, I've explored the terrain.
00:17:30Scaling that hill is hard labor, and scaling those terraces is impossible.
00:17:33Do you want to accept combat here?
00:17:34Yes, certainly.
00:17:35Ah, but Bixio.
00:17:37The terrain is difficult, but it's favorable.
00:17:40The fact it's uphill won't allow the enemy to use to best advantage the forces he's strongest in.
00:17:44Rifles and artillery.
00:17:46Besides, Bixio, we make Italy now, or we die.
00:17:58Bugles, let those soldiers hear the sound of our alarm clock.
00:18:11And now, my friends, it's time to give those boobin gentlemen over there a couple of whacks.
00:18:15General, you want me to call back that fool?
00:18:20Let him go, he has a right to his inspiration.
00:18:22Look, it's midday to the minute.
00:18:24I don't want anyone to shoot without my specific order.
00:18:27To fire from a distance is a sign of fear.
00:18:36Look at them, they can't stand still for an instant!
00:18:53Look!
00:18:58Let's go!
00:19:03Look!
00:19:05Look!
00:19:06Don't steal!
00:19:07Look at them!
00:19:08Look at them!
00:19:10Look at them!
00:19:11Look!
00:19:11Look at them!
00:19:13I knew God!
00:19:14Look at them!
00:19:26Giuseppe Garibaldi, don't despise this monk's habit I'm wearing, because I tell you in truth, it will be stronger than
00:19:32your armor.
00:19:33And don't despise this crucifix. You'll see it flash among the enemy more terrible than your sword.
00:19:38God bless you.
00:20:04What do I carry?
00:20:12Didn't you communicate to Major Swartz of my order to deploy his troops?
00:20:17But make no contact with the enemy.
00:20:19Yes, I did, Excellency.
00:20:21Well, what's the Major doing then?
00:20:24Come on.
00:20:31Major, they're coming up the hill like devils. We've got to have reinforcements.
00:20:35Keep calm, Lieutenant. Let him get tired first. Then I'll order the counterattack.
00:20:46Quick, take this message to General Landy. Need reinforcements immediately.
00:20:52Fire, fire, fire, fire!
00:21:01Fire, fire, fire, fire!
00:21:14Fire, fire, fire!
00:21:23Get to the ground!
00:21:59What have you done, men?! Didn't I tell you you must go to the enemy easy? Get your lines in
00:22:06order! Get your wind back! They do exactly what I tell you!
00:22:10General, they've captured your flag! They've captured your flag!
00:22:14That's nothing at all! Nothing! Some gun is up the hill in that direction!
00:22:28Aim! Aim before you shoot! Take aim, I tell you! Don't waste your ammunition! They're running short! Look at them!
00:22:44Your Excellency, Major Sforza sent you this flag that was taken from the enemy and says to inform you that
00:22:49the commander of the invaders has been killed!
00:22:51Major Sforza asked for reinforcements!
00:22:53What do you mean? He's taken their flag? He's finished Garibali and he still wants reinforcements?
00:22:57Bugles! Bugles! Sound the attack!
00:23:10M
00:23:12Come on, come on!
00:23:35Love them all, men!
00:23:38Get up there!
00:23:39Get up, all that terrorists!
00:23:43Get up, all that aucunness!
00:23:46Get up!
00:23:47Get up, all that Cuz you sunt!
00:23:52Get up, all thatptions!
00:23:57Go out!
00:23:58Go out, get up!
00:24:00Get up, get up!
00:24:03Move your hand!
00:24:07Move Green!
00:25:23Well, look, Giuseppe Garibaldi, look at all we've been able to do.
00:25:27Brave boys.
00:26:11They're leaving town.
00:26:12They'll feed it.
00:26:20Bye.
00:26:22Bye.
00:26:25Bye.
00:27:47Excuse me, is Garibaldi among you somewhere?
00:27:50Right here.
00:27:51General?
00:27:52The church is full of soldiers from the Bourbon army.
00:27:55They're seriously wounded and we trust to your compassion.
00:27:58Compassion?
00:27:59What do you mean compassion?
00:28:01Aren't your wounded soldiers men like us?
00:28:03All Italians?
00:28:04Italians and our brothers?
00:28:07Come and see them.
00:28:25Oh, who are you?
00:28:28Oh, who are you?
00:28:49Brave men, you fought bravely.
00:29:07Be sure that you provide the wounded men with every care you possibly can and tell them
00:29:12that they're free to return to their homes or to fight with us.
00:29:15And they're free to return to their regiments if they like and fight again against us.
00:29:23No, no, please, please.
00:29:25Not that way.
00:29:26We're not the tyrants you're used to.
00:29:31We're just human beings who eat and drink like you.
00:29:34We must kiss each other.
00:29:35So, on the cheeks.
00:29:38We're brothers.
00:29:40Italians.
00:29:41People.
00:29:42My memory serves me right.
00:29:44I think the temple of Sugesta is near here.
00:29:46You learned Latin and Greek in school, eh?
00:29:48Sugesta's not far off, is it?
00:29:50Just a half-hour ride.
00:29:51If you want, we can take you on the donkeys.
00:29:52Let's go.
00:30:14Let's go.
00:30:49Hey, let's go.
00:30:55Hey, what are you doing?
00:30:57After all that ride, don't I deserve a drink?
00:30:59Hey, if you really want a drink, I've got some wine from Mount Etna.
00:31:02It'll bend your knees double.
00:31:04You haven't seen anything.
00:31:05You've had enough to drink.
00:31:07Oh.
00:31:08All right, have a drink.
00:31:09But don't take it all, see?
00:31:15Don't lean on me.
00:31:16How can it be that people who are able to put up a temple like this are reduced to such
00:31:21poverty today?
00:31:22Okay.
00:31:25Thus casually and unafraid, Garibaldi and his thousand volunteers moved on toward Palermo.
00:31:32A small detachment was sent out in another direction, while most of the volunteers, joined
00:31:38by Sicilian patriots, moved through the bush and backcountry to within sight of the capital.
00:31:48Hold! Who goes there?
00:31:55It's Garibaldi! It's Garibaldi!
00:31:57Come Garibaldi!
00:31:59Garibaldi!
00:32:02Garibaldi!
00:32:03Hey, quiet!
00:32:04Quiet down!
00:32:07General Garibaldi, the diversion has worked.
00:32:11What?
00:32:12Look what's in the Palermo newspaper today.
00:32:15Let's see.
00:32:17The soldiers of General Merkel have put to flight Garibaldi's vagabonds along the road to Corleone.
00:32:24The pirates have disappeared into the mountains.
00:32:26The criminals who, at the arrival of Garibaldi, joined in with his bandits to promote anarchy
00:32:31and murder, shall not go free and unpunished.
00:32:33The government of His Majesty the King guarantees to restore the law and order to which good citizens aspire.
00:32:53Palermo.
00:33:04Today, General, I know at last we shall see the end of the rule of tyranny and hypocrisy under which
00:33:09I am
00:33:09will be a lamented by the opposition.
00:33:13Let's hope so.
00:33:15And now, Bixio, to Palermo.
00:33:21To Palermo.
00:33:23Or we die, General.
00:33:29Gary Valdi is coming!
00:33:31The bandits! Gary Valdi and the bandit!
00:33:33Gary Valdi! Sound the alarm!
00:33:36Sound the alarm!
00:33:38Sound the alarm!
00:33:40Gary Valdi!
00:33:42Gary Valdi!
00:33:43Gary Valdi!
00:33:44Gary Valdi!
00:33:56Let's go.
00:34:27Let's go.
00:35:04Let's go.
00:35:31Let's go.
00:35:34Let's go.
00:36:26Let's go.
00:36:49Let's go.
00:36:54Let's go.
00:37:09Let's go.
00:37:09Let's go.
00:37:13Let's go.
00:37:23Let's go.
00:37:28Let's go.
00:37:34Let's go.
00:37:35Come on.
00:37:58Let's go.
00:37:59Let's go.
00:38:21Let's go.
00:38:28Let's go.
00:38:36Let's go.
00:38:58Let's go.
00:39:00Let's go.
00:39:05Let's go.
00:39:07Let's go.
00:39:17Let's go.
00:39:18Let's go.
00:39:19Let's go.
00:39:20Let's go.
00:39:25Let's go.
00:39:26Let's go.
00:39:28Let's go.
00:39:29After you, sir.
00:39:30Do sit down, please.
00:39:38Who's Maroli?
00:39:46Yes, sir.
00:39:47That's all.
00:39:51Well then, to what do I owe the honor of your visit?
00:39:56General Garibaldi, we want to put an honorable end to so much suffering.
00:40:00That's exactly what we want to do, too.
00:40:03I'm sorry I don't have any tobacco to offer you,
00:40:06except some bad cigars from Nice.
00:40:08But when in war, one can't have a choice.
00:40:12No, thank you. I don't smoke.
00:40:14Thanks, I don't smoke either.
00:40:17We were saying...
00:40:19General, don't you think it's time all this ended?
00:40:24No one can deny, General Garibaldi,
00:40:26that all this agony, the blood, and barricades
00:40:28doesn't do any good to anyone.
00:40:29And for that reason, we wish that it should cease.
00:40:34Agreed.
00:40:34I'm armed with full powers to negotiate a truce.
00:40:37If we're able to conclude it, we'll go immediately to Naples,
00:40:40where we'll clarify to His Majesty, my Sovereign,
00:40:43the conditions agreed upon and request his commands.
00:40:45General, if we could possibly, how shall I say it,
00:40:50take a shortcut to fair and honorable conditions, so to speak.
00:40:54I am certain, we are certain,
00:40:57that we can stipulate a truce,
00:41:00whereafter, with the help of God,
00:41:03and a little peace, and men's anger placated...
00:41:05Fine.
00:41:07It will never be my fault if this truce isn't stipulated here immediately.
00:41:12Please tell me what your desires are.
00:41:15We've already got them written.
00:41:17Read them, Colonel.
00:41:25That drinking water be restored immediately to the castle.
00:41:29That's the first thing we ask.
00:41:30Fine. Agreed to.
00:41:33That medicines be sent to the castle for the troops that are sick and wounded.
00:41:37With all my heart.
00:41:39That exchange of prisoners must take place immediately.
00:41:42Surely.
00:41:46Will you share this orange with me?
00:41:51Thank you, sir.
00:41:53Yes.
00:41:54But you will have to hand over the hostages taken by General Law in Palermo,
00:41:57and now under guard in the castle.
00:42:01I don't have powers to treat for the hostages.
00:42:04But I assure you, on my honor,
00:42:05they're receiving all care,
00:42:06and that His Good Majesty
00:42:07is sure to put them at liberty, General Garibaldi,
00:42:10the moment I've seen him.
00:42:11You must also evacuate the city.
00:42:13But...
00:42:14Listen to me.
00:42:14I'm telling you what my conditions are now.
00:42:19Evacuate the city.
00:42:22Withdraw your troops from the castle.
00:42:24And I will allow you
00:42:25to make camp at Mount Pellegrino.
00:42:28Agreed, then?
00:42:30Uh...
00:42:30Yes.
00:42:40Garibaldi and his thousand now found
00:42:42that movement along the northern coast of Sicily,
00:42:44over toward the mainland of Italy,
00:42:46was very difficult.
00:42:48The Bourbon troops clung desperately
00:42:50to their last strongholds,
00:42:52but the Garibaldinos drove them out
00:42:54and pushed on to within sight
00:42:55of the Calabrian coast
00:42:57across the Blue Strait of Messina.
00:43:01At the lighthouse,
00:43:02the general was forced to wait.
00:43:05Cavour,
00:43:05and perhaps also Victor Emmanuel,
00:43:07and perhaps also Victor Emmanuel now,
00:43:08was becoming alarmed
00:43:09by the fact that Republican forces
00:43:11throughout Italy
00:43:12were using Garibaldi's conquests
00:43:14for their own purposes.
00:43:16Even though he was faithful
00:43:18to United Italy,
00:43:19would he remain faithful to monarchy
00:43:21and refuse to support a republic?
00:43:24And he refused to support a republic.
00:44:13What is it?
00:44:17Look, look, isn't that the general?
00:44:19Yes, it's Garibaldi.
00:44:27Watch out there.
00:44:29Hey, they must be important.
00:44:35Well, here we are, sir.
00:44:43This way, please.
00:44:54Who's he?
00:44:54Looks like an officer in civilian clothes.
00:45:02Good day, sir.
00:45:07I have the honor to deliver to you a letter from his majesty.
00:45:15Shh, quiet.
00:45:16Give me a glass of wine.
00:45:17I've got a dry throat.
00:45:18Who is he?
00:45:19I've got an adjutant of King Victor Emmanuel.
00:45:24You know what the king is asking me to do.
00:45:26He asks you not to cross over the strait.
00:45:29You must know that his majesty was unable to approve of your expedition and that he wished
00:45:34to remain completely outside of it.
00:45:37I've always liked Victor Emmanuel.
00:45:40You've gone from one victory to another.
00:45:42We've been told that you've run many risks personally.
00:45:45His majesty at Torino has been expressing his doubts about attempting to make a landing
00:45:50on the coast of Calabria.
00:45:51Francis II still has a first-rate army, and the Neapolitan navy is one of the best.
00:45:58I in no way deny that there are difficulties.
00:46:04But when a people want their liberty, no soldiers can keep them from getting it.
00:46:12His majesty writes as your king.
00:46:14Without any hesitation I can say that if you dare disobey him because others tell you
00:46:18it's your duty to Italy to do so.
00:46:22I've always said that I liked and esteemed Victor Emmanuel.
00:46:26It's a shame that he has such advisers around him.
00:46:32You may tell him.
00:46:39I'll send my reply for his majesty to where you'll stay.
00:46:49Guzmaroli! Guzmaroli!
00:46:52That's me.
00:46:54Hurry.
00:47:20What's going on?
00:47:22Wish we could find out.
00:47:23Menotti, you go to your father.
00:47:25Try to find out something.
00:47:26Try to explain to him how we feel.
00:47:28Please.
00:47:30All right.
00:47:36Come in.
00:47:39What is it, Menotti?
00:47:41Nothing.
00:47:44Nothing, father.
00:47:49When are we going to Calabria?
00:47:53When?
00:47:54Yes, when?
00:47:57You see, father.
00:47:58That's what all of us who are sitting around without anything to do are asking.
00:48:02A few hundred feet and there's...
00:48:03A few hundred feet of salt water, I know.
00:48:05But across it they're well fortified.
00:48:07Their artillery is waiting.
00:48:0920,000 men are expecting us.
00:48:10We know that very well.
00:48:12Furthermore, to cross the strait means to take the flames of revolution to the continent of Europe.
00:48:18Did you know that Napoleon III has proposed to the English a joint naval action to block us in Sicily?
00:48:24That's why we've got to be quick and act before they try to...
00:48:26I know.
00:48:27I know, I know.
00:48:29But I don't think that the English are going to do it.
00:48:31You're right that waiting puts us in danger.
00:48:34But in the meantime...
00:48:36I've got other kinds of worries.
00:48:38I'm not going to lead a single soldier of our army to a massacre.
00:48:41Even if we're willing to try anything?
00:48:44The people of Sicily want to be united to Piedmont.
00:48:47Because they want to be sure that the liberty they've won will not...
00:48:50I know that.
00:48:50And if we let them be annexed,
00:48:53Cavour will send the Piedmontese land forces down here immediately.
00:48:57And goodbye to our united Italy.
00:49:00Father, if you're not willing, who could make a try?
00:49:02I know, we must at least try.
00:49:06But what you don't consider, Minotti, is the weight of all this responsibility.
00:49:11So what now?
00:49:14Ah...
00:49:15I think I'll send this reply, after all, to the King in Cavour.
00:49:22Sire, your majesty is aware of the affection and respect that I have always felt for your person,
00:49:28and that I wish to obey you.
00:49:30But then your majesty will also understand in what a position of embarrassment,
00:49:33in the eyes of the Neapolitan citizens, my inactivity is putting us today.
00:49:37It is now months that I've been having to restrain them, that I've sent them promises of support.
00:49:43All Italy will now turn to me to ask why I'm inactive, and this question will cause us harm.
00:49:47Thus, when I have kept my sacred promises, your majesty will receive from my hands the powers that circumstances have
00:49:53laid there.
00:49:54And I shall obey my King willingly for all the rest of my life.
00:50:00I'll have a copy made of this letter, and sent to the man who's just been here.
00:50:09Father.
00:50:19You say your father is certain that our friends over there on the mainland will open the fortress to us?
00:50:25Yes, sir.
00:50:25And suppose we were to fail?
00:50:26Uh, we'd have been able to attract a lot of urban forces in the direction of the fort,
00:50:31or further on up north, where we could wait.
00:50:34In the meanwhile, you to the south...
00:50:36You're willing to take the risk?
00:50:37Yes, General.
00:50:38As soon as night falls, I start across.
00:50:42During the night, the boy Fabrizio crossed the Strait of Messina alone in a sailing dinghy.
00:50:48A storm swept down on him.
00:50:50He capsized his boat, in order not to be driven off his course, and was washed ashore in Calabria.
00:50:56He was later found by a peasant girl, who was destined to become an unsung heroine of Italian freedom.
00:51:21I found Baron Plutino's sun down on the beach this morning. He told me to tell you.
00:51:25Oh.
00:51:26What shall I do?
00:51:28Go inside and bring out my cape with the hood.
00:51:31The one I wear in church processions.
00:51:34Tonight there's the procession for St. Rocco.
00:51:36Understand?
00:51:37Yes, Father.
00:51:38Don't let them see the cape.
00:51:40I won't.
00:51:41Be quick.
00:51:43Be quick.
00:51:46Be quick.
00:51:51Be in the rain.
00:51:53Be on in the rain.
00:51:57Be on in the rain.
00:52:01Beишie!
00:52:01Be on the rain.
00:52:26This way.
00:52:27Last man in, close the door.
00:52:33In here.
00:52:37Come on in.
00:52:42Here we are.
00:52:44Master of the day.
00:52:47Are we all present?
00:52:48All present.
00:52:49Are we all willing to begin the meeting?
00:52:50All are willing.
00:52:52Then your brother and companion, in words of humility, calls the meeting to order.
00:52:55Thank you, friend.
00:52:57Cover your heads.
00:52:58Thank you, friend.
00:53:00Master of the day, in words of humility, your brother and companion requests you to make the circle.
00:53:05There's some boxes to sit on, brothers.
00:53:07Make the circle.
00:53:17The Society of Brothers of Montalbano is waiting for you to speak, friend.
00:53:22I give my thanks to you and all the society.
00:53:24We thank you, brother.
00:53:28Brothers, 250 men sent from Garibaldi are going to cross the Straits of Messina to capture the fortress.
00:53:35Garibaldi is counting on us.
00:53:36Brothers, we must not fail him.
00:53:39We will not fail him.
00:53:41Who's going up the mountain with me?
00:53:42He is.
00:53:43At the top of the mountain, we'll light a bonfire as a signal for the men across the strait to
00:53:49put out to sea.
00:53:50The beach, the town, and the whole coast are patrolled.
00:53:52Everyone's alerted.
00:53:53Policemen, informers, spies, and soldiers are almost everywhere.
00:53:57We've planned on that.
00:53:58When Garibaldi's men are nearing the shore, we want a man to go along the waterfront and draw attention away
00:54:02from the boats in the other direction.
00:54:04The Garibaldinos can land.
00:54:05Some attack the beach guard.
00:54:07Others go to the fort.
00:54:08I'll be the man on the beach.
00:54:10Good.
00:54:11Garibaldi will thank you, brother.
00:54:12Let's go.
00:54:13Wait a minute.
00:54:14You better go out through the orchard.
00:54:15Climb over the wall at the far end, and then he'll show you the safest way.
00:54:19Let's go.
00:54:23We'll make it, eh?
00:54:25Good night.
00:54:27Good night, sir.
00:54:29Good night.
00:54:34A girl who knows her place is not supposed to have ears.
00:54:42We're ready.
00:54:43Soldiers are blocking all the streets.
00:54:44Let's go.
00:54:45Right.
00:54:46Can we begin now, Captain?
00:54:48Begin.
00:55:04Open up!
00:55:05In the name of the law, open up!
00:55:10What do you want?
00:55:11Don't make a move.
00:55:27What are you doing to my father?
00:55:29Quiet, you!
00:55:41Luigi Spezzano, come with me.
00:55:42Why?
00:55:43What have I done?
00:55:43Men with beards end up in prison these days.
00:55:46Maria, give me my shawl.
00:55:47There.
00:55:47Take him away.
00:55:49Go on.
00:55:57Don't leave your sisters, even for a minute.
00:55:59Where are you going?
00:56:00A girl who knows her place is not supposed to have ears.
00:56:05Someone has got to be on the beach.
00:56:08Holy Mother, be with me.
00:56:14Rosa.
00:56:16Shh, you mustn't cry.
00:56:18Bye-bye.

00:58:50A mere girl, not quite a woman, assured the success of Garibaldi's landing on the continent of Italy.

00:59:06made them prisoners.
