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.
00:03:55Wait.
00:03:56Ring the bells.
00:03:58Get the flag out.
00:04:05You're over there ready
00:04:40Oh
00:05:06Oh
00:05:22Right
00:05:29Aim
00:05:32Fire
00:05:39I've got a right to go free
00:05:41I'm not dead
00:05:42I've got a right to go free
00:05:44Now you're free
00:05:53The cries of these martyrs to freedom
00:05:55And 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
00:06:12But the forces of reaction and even Cavour had soon put an end to that brief moment of freedom
00:06:20Now Garibaldi was more cautious in his actions
00:06:23And yet he could not ignore the meaning of the conspiracy in Palermo
00:06:27He began to be surrounded by adherents of Italian unity
00:06:31To certain men who had fought with him before
00:06:33But who were now in other armies
00:06:34He sent his trusted agents to find out which ones were willing to leave everything
00:06:39And fight with him again
00:07:04Here he is, we've brought him
00:07:05Oh Giuseppe Garibaldi
00:07:07It's good to see you
00:07:08I'm glad to find you well General
00:07:10Hello Nino
00:07:11Hello Nino
00:07:12Hello Nino
00:07:12Guzzmaroli I can imagine has told you why you're here
00:07:15No
00:07:15Sit down then
00:07:18I was sitting in a cafe in Alessandria
00:07:20When I found him standing in front of me
00:07:21The General wants you, come on
00:07:23He didn't even allow me to go home
00:07:24He dragged me to the station
00:07:25Pushed me under the first train
00:07:26And 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
00:07:35Then you must go down there to make recruits
00:07:39Push all the way down the valley into Umbria
00:07:41Win over everyone that's possible
00:07:45Push on to Perugia to find out if the people of Perugia are willing to fight for liberty
00:07:52But to be able to do this you say I need money and firearms
00:07:56Well General to do all that without money and arms
00:07:59What are you saying?
00:08:00Do those people want to help or not?
00:08:02If they really want to a few sticks and 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?
00:08:11I don't want to see myself in cartoons
00:08:13Hear people say that out of conceit I lied to Garabaldi
00:08:18Blessed Florentines
00:08:19Do nothings and cowards
00:08:25Don't listen to him
00:08:26We all know what he's like
00:08:28Never manages to be calm for long
00:08:31Anyway at this moment
00:08:33He's only useful for attracting attention elsewhere
00:08:40We'll talk about it tomorrow
00:08:41Yes General but
00:08:42Will 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
00:08:53I ought to go back to Alessandria
00:08:55If I don't show up at barracks I'll be considered a desert
00:08:59Don'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
00:09:35The Sicilians are battling the enemies of Italy for Italy
00:09:39Italians
00:09:40Every citizen has the duty to go to their aid
00:09:43With words and guns and money
00:09:47Above all with force of decision
00:09:49A host of brave soldiers
00:09:51My tried companions on the field of furious battle
00:09:54Are marching with me to the rescue
00:09:56Italy knows who they are
00:09:58They're the same men who have never failed us in the hour of peril
00:10:01True 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
00:10:10Without thought of other reward than a stainless conscience
00:10:18Italy and Victor Emmanuel
00:10:19That was their cry when they crossed the Ticino
00:10:22Italy and Victor Emmanuel
00:10:24Will fill the air of Sicily from cavern to mountain peak
00:10:29At this fateful call to war
00:10:32Echoing from the northern ranges of Italy to Rome itself
00:10:35The tottering throne of tyranny will fall
00:10:38And to a man
00:10:39The courageous sons of Sicily will rise in triumph
00:10:44To arms
00:10:46Once 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
00:10:55Has not been a lie
00:10:57Hooray!
00:11:02Excuse me, I'm a newspaper man
00:11:04It'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
00:11:21On two ships Vixio requisitioned
00:11:23Stop
00:11:26Feelings in diplomatic and political circles running high
00:11:28Stop
00:11:29We'll send details
00:11:30Quick, put it ahead of the others
00:11:40The march toward Italian unity was underway
00:11:44All over Italy
00:11:44All over Europe
00:11:46People held their breath in suspense
00:11:49Cabour and Victor Emmanuel
00:11:50Had not been informed of the attack on Sicily
00:11:53Although Garibaldi had used the king's name as his rallying cry
00:11:56Would 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 named Landy
00:12:08To meet the 1,000 volunteers and stop them from bringing aid to the patriots in Palermo and throughout the
00:12:14island
00:12:16I've come to tell your excellency everything we've been able to learn
00:12:19The 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
00:12:41They're not too sure of what he's called
00:12:43Oh, yes they are
00:12:45Garibaldi
00:12:45Your excellency knows everything then, huh?
00:12:48Don'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
00:12:53That much I can guarantee you
00:12:55Got two very old cannons
00:12:56And a couple of big guns, a lot older even
00:12:59They loaded them onto carts they stole at Marsala
00:13:01And now they're having trouble hauling them
00:13:04Yes, sir
00:13:04And last night they slept at Rampigallo
00:13:07On 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
00:13:17When the time comes for traitors
00:13:19Well, anyway, this Forte gave them a pile of supplies
00:13:22Enough 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?
00:13:28Your excellency, my word of honor
00:13:29This is where they are, General
00:13:36Adamo, Adamo
00:13:38Garibaldi's at Salemi
00:13:39Round up everybody you can
00:13:41Go down to the mill and get all of the flour
00:13:43Quick!
00:13:47Turidu
00:13:49Turidu
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
00:13:59Get down to the mill, quick!
00:14:04Throw that one over there
00:14:12Another guard up there!
00:14:13Go on, go on, he'll lead you to the hiding place!
00:14:16Come on, quick!
00:14:23This way!
00:14:25Police, run!
00:14:26And don't try to pretend that you were ignorant of these peasants intention to attack and sack that mill
00:14:32I'm a military tactician, not a policeman
00:14:34But I should send you to the firing squad
00:14:36And father, that goes for you too
00:14:38Yes, father
00:14:39We've got a belly full of priests and friars
00:14:42Stirring up rebellion against his majesty
00:14:45Fine religion you're teaching the people
00:14:48I can't see how we're supposed to be responsible to you in such things
00:14:52And may I also remind you that I don't accept observations from anyone else but my bishop
00:14:58Well now
00:15:00We'll soon be
00:15:02Hearing 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
00:15:15The two of you will answer for it
00:15:17You may go
00:15:24Bring in that captain again
00:15:25Yes, sir
00:15:33Excellency
00:15:35Garibaldi and his outlaws have left Selenia and are going towards Vita
00:15:58That's it there, General
00:16:00That's the road that goes to Palermo
00:16:03Between here and there
00:16:05The land lies all the same way
00:16:07Up and down hills and mountains
00:16:11You see that hill over there?
00:16:13The one where my men are?
00:16:15Right
00:16:16Well above it and behind is Calatafimi
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?
00:16:31Those vagabonds
00:16:31Are 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
00:16:39Or give them a shot to help them digest
00:16:42Look at them, look at them
00:16:44Rag pickers, 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
00:17:07This 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
00:17:29Scaling that hill is hard labor
00:17:31And 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
00:17:39But 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
00:17:48We make Italy now
00:17:50Or we die
00:17:57Bugles!
00:17:58Let 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
00:18:38Let the fire rise
00:18:40They can't stand there
00:18:52What?
00:19:00Oh, no!
00:19:04It's not broken
00:19:21Right in the way, girl!
00:19:26Giuseppe Garibaldi, don't despise this monk's habit I'm wearing,
00:19:30because I tell you in truth, it will be stronger than your armor.
00:19:33And don't despise this crucifix.
00:19:35You'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, but make your contact with the enemy?
00:20:18Yes, 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.
00:20:34Keep calm, Lieutenant. Let him get tired first.
00:20:37Then I'll order the counterattack.
00:20:47Quick, take this message to General Landy. Need reinforcements immediately.
00:21:22We've got to get to that side!
00:21:25We've got to get to that side!
00:21:29We've got to get to that side!
00:21:30We've got to get to that side!
00:21:59What have you done, men?
00:22:02Didn't I tell you you must go to the enemy easy?
00:22:05Get your lines in order.
00:22:06Get your wind back.
00:22:08They do exactly what I tell you.
00:22:10General, they've captured your flag.
00:22:13They've captured your flag.
00:22:14That's nothing at all.
00:22:15Nothing.
00:22:16Some gun is up the hill in that direction.
00:22:28Aim.
00:22:29Aim before you shoot.
00:22:32Take aim, I tell you.
00:22:34Don't waste your ammunition.
00:22:36They're running short.
00:22:37Look at them.
00:22:44Your Excellency, Major Sporza 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 Sporza asked for reinforcements.
00:22:53What do you mean?
00:22:54He's taken the flag?
00:22:55He's finished Garibali and he still wants reinforcements?
00:22:59Bugles, sound the attack.
00:23:21Follow me.
00:23:31Harder Needham.
00:23:32Come on.
00:23:35Now it's the moment.
00:23:38Get up there.
00:23:39Get up over that embarrass.
00:23:43Oh, my God!
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.
00:26:13They'll feed it.
00:26:46They'll feed it.
00:26:59They'll feed it.
00:27:09They'll feed it.
00:27:15They'll feed it.
00:27:47Excuse me.
00:27:48Is Garibaldi among you somewhere?
00:27:50Right here. General?
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? What do you mean, compassion?
00:28:01Aren't your wounded soldiers men like us?
00:28:03All Italians? Italians and our brothers?
00:28:06Thank you. Come and see them.
00:28:18Come and see them.
00:28:50Brave men.
00:28:52You fought bravely.
00:29:07Be sure that you provide the wounded men with every care you possibly can.
00:29:11And tell them that 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.
00:29:25Please. Not that way. We're not the tyrants you 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.
00:29:36On the cheeks.
00:29:38We're brothers.
00:29:40Italians.
00:29:41People.
00:29:42My memory serves me right. I think the temple of Sugesta is near here.
00:29:46You learn Latin and Greek in school, eh?
00:29:48Sugesta's not far off, is it?
00:29:50Just a half hour ride. If you want, we can take you on the donkey.
00:29:52Let's go.
00:29:53Let's go.
00:30:10There it is. We're here.
00:30:17There it is.
00:30:19There it is.
00:30:21There it is.
00:30:21Hurry up.
00:30:27Hold.
00:30:30Hold foot.
00:30:39Give me some water.
00:30:41Give me some water.
00:30:42Give me some water.
00:30:45Give me some water.
00:30:46Come on.
00:30:47Come on.
00:30:47Come on.
00:30:48Come back here.
00:30:51Hey, 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.
00:31:08Alright, have a drink, but 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
00:31:20are reduced to such poverty today?
00:31:25Thus casually and unafraid, Garibaldi and his thousand volunteers
00:31:29moved on toward Palermo.
00:31:32A small detachment was sent out in another direction,
00:31:35while most of the volunteers, joined by Sicilian patriots,
00:31:39moved through the bush and backcountry to within sight of the capital.
00:31:48I'm going to go.
00:31:49Hold! Who goes there?
00:31:55It's Garibaldi! It's Garibaldi!
00:31:57Don't make Garibaldi!
00:31:59Don't make Garibaldi!
00:32:00Don't make Garibaldi!
00:32:03Don't make Garibaldi!
00:32:03Don't make Garibaldi!
00:32:03Hey, quiet!
00:32:04Quiet down!
00:32:06Ah!
00:32:07General Garibaldi!
00:32:08Ah!
00:32:09Come on, sir!
00:32:09The diversion has worked!
00:32:11Oh?
00:32:12Look what's in the Palermo newspaper today!
00:32:16Let's see.
00:32:16The soldiers of General Merkel have put to flight Garibaldi's vagabonds
00:32:22along the road to Corleone.
00:32:24The pirates have disappeared into the mountains.
00:32:26The criminals who, at the arrival of Garibaldi,
00:32:29joined in with his bandits to promote anarchy and murder,
00:32:31shall not go free and unpunished.
00:32:33The government of His Majesty the King guarantees to restore
00:32:37the 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
00:33:08and hypocrisy under which oppression is called liberty,
00:33:10abuse justice, scorn is called love, and declare conscience...
00:33:14Ah, let's all hope so, La Masa.
00:33:16And now, Bixio, to Palermo.
00:33:21To Palermo?
00:33:23Or we die, General.
00:33:30Garibaldi's coming!
00:33:31The bandits!
00:33:32Garibaldi and the bandits!
00:33:33Get the剣!
00:33:34Get the剣!
00:33:35Sound the alarm!

00:42:31yes
00:42:40Garibaldi
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 to their last strongholds
00:42:52but the Garibaldinos drove them out and pushed on
00:42:55to within sight of the Calabrian coast
00:42:57across the blue strait of Messina
00:43:00at the lighthouse
00:43:02the general was forced to wait
00:43:04Cavour
00:43:05and perhaps also Victor Emmanuel now
00:43:08was becoming alarmed by the fact that Republican forces throughout Italy
00:43:12were using Garibaldi's conquests for their own purposes
00:43:16even though he was faithful to United Italy
00:43:18would he remain faithful to monarchy
00:43:21and refuse to support a republic
00:43:23under the
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 is he?
00:44:55Looks like an officer in civilian clothes.
00:45:02Good day, sir.
00:45:06I have the honor to deliver to you a letter from His Majesty.
00:45:15Shh, quiet. Give me a glass of wine. I've got a dry throat.
00:45:18Who is he?
00:45:19An adjutant of King Victor Emmanuel.
00:45:21Oh!
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, he wished to remain
00:45:35completely 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.
00:45:46His Majesty at Torino has been expressing his doubts about attempting to make a landing on 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 it's your duty to
00:46:19Italy 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 advisors around him.
00:46:32You may tell him.
00:46:39I'll send my reply for His Majesty to where you're staying.
00:46:49Who's my rollie?
00:46:50Who's my rollie?
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.
00:47:50When are we going to Calabria?
00:47:53When?
00:47:54Yes, when.
00:47:57You see, father, that'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.
00:48:09Twenty thousand men are expecting us.
00:48:10We know that very well.
00:48:11Furthermore, 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, I'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 because they want to be sure that the liberty they've
00:48:49won will not...
00:48:50I know that.
00:48:51And if we let them be annexed, Kabor 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?
00:49:15Ah, I think I'll send this reply, after all, to the king in Kavur.
00:49:22Sire, your majesty is aware of the affection and respect that I have always felt for your person, and that
00:49:28I wish to obey you.
00:49:30But then your majesty will also understand in what a position of embarrassment, in the eyes of the Neapolitan citizens,
00:49:35my 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?
00:50:27We'd have been able to attract a lot of urban forces in the direction of the fort, or further on
00:50:32up 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.
00:51:24He 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.
00:51:52What shall I do?
00:51:53Again?
00:51:55I will.
00:51:57Take you.
00:52:00Coffee.
00:52:02Talk.
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,
00:53:01your 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.
00:53:27Brothers, 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.
00:53:59When Garibaldi's men are nearing the shore,
00:54:00we want a man to go along the waterfront and draw attention away from 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.
00:54:16Climb 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 Spetsano, 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!
00:56:16Oh, you mustn't cry.
00:56:18Oh, you mustn't cry.
00:56:18Oh, you mustn't cry.
00:56:18Oh, you mustn't cry.
00:56:20Oh, you mustn't cry.
00:56:20Oh, you mustn't cry.
00:56:21Oh, you mustn't cry.
00:56:22Oh, you mustn't cry.
00:56:24Oh, you mustn't cry.
00:56:24Oh, you mustn't cry.
00:56:26Oh, you mustn't cry.
00:56:27Oh, you mustn't cry.
00:56:30Oh, you mustn't cry.
00:56:32Oh, you mustn't cry.
00:56:34Oh, you mustn't cry.
00:56:35Oh, you mustn't cry.
00:56:35Oh, you mustn't cry.
00:56:36Oh, you mustn't cry.
00:56:37Oh, you mustn't cry.
00:56:47THE END
00:57:18THE END
00:57:19THE END
00:57:20THE END
00:57:20THE END
00:57:20THE END
00:57:20THE END
00:57:53Oh
00:57:58Look! Who goes there?
00:58:24Look!
00:58:26Look!
00:58:33Look!
00:58:37Look!
00:58:38Look!
00:58:50A mere girl, not quite a woman,
00:58:53assured the success of Garibaldi's landing on the continent of Italy.
00:58:57Further to the south, he and the rest of his men crossed the strait on two steamships,
00:59:03attacked the Bourbon troops, unaware, and made them prisoners.
00:59:31It's a great day!
00:59:35Let's go!
00:59:36Let's go!
00:59:37Let's go!
00:59:42Let's go!
00:59:43Let's go!
00:59:45Let's go!
01:00:03Let's go!
01:00:07Halt!
01:00:08Halt!
01:00:18Halt or we'll shoot!
01:00:24Give me that!
01:00:35Halt!
01:00:44Halt! Stand back!
01:00:46Halt!
01:00:53Halt!
01:00:59Stand back!
01:01:01Stand back!
01:01:05Halt!
01:01:06Halt!
01:01:08They stole our muses! They stole everything we got!
01:01:10They stole our cows from us!
01:01:12Be quiet and listen to me!
01:01:14You soldiers, Italy is ashamed of you!
01:01:17Give back those things you've stolen from these men!
01:01:19We don't want to think of you as conquered enemies!
01:01:22We want to welcome you in our ranks
01:01:24and call you brothers
01:01:25and have you as comrades in still greater and more glorious campaigns!
01:01:30Caraballi, we want to go back to our houses!
01:01:32We don't want to fight any more battles for anyone!
01:01:33I don't want to fight any more!
01:01:35I want to go back to being a farmer!
01:01:37Quiet! Quiet!
01:01:39Shame to you men of soldiers of faith!
01:01:41Much better if you were enemies instead of cowards!
01:01:44We would treat you as brothers,
01:01:46whereas now we must treat you as losers!
01:01:48Bandi!
01:01:49Siutori!
01:01:50Guzmarori!
01:01:50Minotti!
01:01:51Take care of these men!
01:01:52Don't escape whatever they have!
01:01:54Arms and munitions, horses and mule!
01:01:57Everything they have stolen must be returned to the rightful owners!
01:02:00If any of these bourbon soldiers want to fight for Italy undivided and free,
01:02:05welcome them like brothers!
01:02:06We could keep the rest of them prisoners, but instead they can go home!
01:02:11We will not have with us men of little faith who are ungrateful cowards!
01:02:15They can go back to their houses!
01:02:17They'll not leave you, Felix!
01:02:19I promise you!
01:02:19I promise you!
01:02:49Garibaldi made his way toward Naples,
01:02:51where people, at the news of his approach,
01:02:53either took panic and fled or waited for him anxiously.
01:02:56The young king of Naples, bowing to circumstances,
01:02:59made a sacrifice in the name of humanity.
01:03:04Your Majesty!
01:03:08You see, my friends, I'm leaving Naples,
01:03:11so as to save her from the horrors of war.
01:03:14I've news that Garibaldi is not far away.
01:03:17The faith you've showed to me will never be far from my mind.
01:03:20And so that you will always remember it, too,
01:03:23I've named you Knights of Saint Gennaro.
01:03:30Don Libo, watch out, you don't lose the collar.
01:03:33Sire, I'll do everything to wear it on my breast as long as I can.
01:03:36Don Miquet, my congratulations to you.
01:03:39You've served the country very, very well.
01:03:41And I know that I've been of equal service to Your Majesty.
01:03:44And if Your Majesty could have listened to my humble counsels,
01:03:47you might not find yourself in this position now.
01:03:49Your ideal is Italian Victor Emmanuel,
01:03:52but he won't bring you what you're looking for.
01:03:53We mortals have the short view of a lifetime.
01:03:56What the future holds, only God knows.
01:03:58Your Majesty may leave in peace,
01:03:59certain that our fellow citizens will be mindful always
01:04:03that Your Majesty, in leaving the city voluntarily,
01:04:05has spared us all the horrors of civil conflict.
01:04:08I hope so, thank you.
01:04:09Her Majesty, the Queen.
01:04:50Gentlemen, we'll see each other at the front, on the Volturno.
01:05:09We're coming back soon.
01:05:20We're coming back soon.
01:05:31We're coming back soon.
01:05:36We're coming back soon.
01:05:37We're coming back soon.
01:05:38We're coming back soon.
01:05:46It's so sad to go away.
01:05:48Don't let them see you crying.
01:05:52The very next day, Garibaldi entered Naples without a shock being fired.
01:05:56He was greeted as a liberator, and he assumed leadership of the government just as he had done in Sicily.
01:06:06In the name of all Italians and of all human beings, I give you citizens of Naples my heartfelt thanks.
01:06:15You well have a right to exalt and cheer on a day when the tyranny of centuries has come to
01:06:21an end,
01:06:22and liberty has at long last been established.
01:06:25I thank you for this welcome, not for myself, but in the name of united Italy,
01:06:31which each of you has helped to create with the labor of your hearts and your hands,
01:06:37so that it is not only Italy, but the whole of Europe which thanks you.
01:06:57Have you heard the news?
01:06:58What?
01:06:59Troops sent by Victor Emmanuel, which means Cavour, have crossed the frontiers of the Roman states.
01:07:04That's what we were just talking about.
01:07:06It's clear they want to drive down towards Neapolitan territory.
01:07:08Clear as day.
01:07:09Do you think that means that Cavour intends to put us in our place?
01:07:12He wants to stop us from eventually marching on Rome and Venice.
01:07:16And then what?
01:07:17Do you think he's trying to push us into civil war?
01:07:19Oh, Cavour hates us all right.
01:07:21He wants what he wants, and he's willing to beat down any obstacle that gets in his way.
01:07:24He doesn't want to play second to anyone.
01:07:26I can tell you that Garibaldi would die a hundred deaths to avoid a civil war.
01:07:30Cavour will answer for it if one breaks out.
01:07:32When I think that Francis II is pressing harder and harder on the Volturno every day.
01:07:37And now you'll see it'll be worse.
01:07:39The line of the Bourbon troops is solid, from the coast all the way up to Capua.
01:07:42Their forward lines are only three miles north of Caserta.
01:07:45And patrols of cavalry have been raiding even nearer.
01:07:47The Bourbons will try any sort of offensive to retake Naples and not be caught outside their capital by Victor
01:07:52Emmanuel.
01:07:53It's obvious that the men faithful to Cavour want to have Sicily and Naples vote themselves in with United Italy.
01:07:58So the two can be part of the kingdom of Victor Emmanuel, well before Garibaldi can make Rome into his
01:08:04capital.
01:08:19We can expect anything to happen.
01:08:21I'll tell you frankly, I'm even afraid for Garibaldi's life.
01:08:24If anything's possible, anything's possible, getting him out of the way would be convenient to the Bourbons, to Cavour, to
01:08:31Austria, to Napoleon III, to everyone.
01:08:34We can't close our eyes a minute.
01:08:39Garibaldi himself was not troubled by these doubts and fears.
01:08:42Summoned by Bourbon attacks to the banks of the river Volturno,
01:08:46he went into battle with the same spirit of humanity and good faith as always.
01:08:52There you are, General. A lot of Bourbon troops are in Capua.
01:08:55We ought to direct our fire that way.
01:08:57Onboard a city full of defenseless civilians?
01:09:00Better to lose the battle.
01:09:04Don't answer that fire!
01:09:13They're firing from there!
01:09:15They're firing from there!
01:09:17They're firing from there!
01:09:18They're firing from there!
01:09:22They're firing from there!
01:09:24They're firing from there!
01:09:28They're firing from there!
01:09:30They're firing from there!
01:09:30They're firing from there!
01:09:32They're firing from there!
01:09:33They're firing from there!
01:09:34They're firing from there!
01:09:34They're firing from there!
01:09:34They're firing from there!
01:09:35They're firing from there!
01:09:35They're firing from there!
01:09:36They're firing from there!
01:09:36They're firing from there!
01:09:36They're firing from there!
01:09:37They're firing from there!
01:09:37They're firing from there!
01:09:37They're firing from there!
01:09:38They're firing from there!
01:09:38They're firing from there!
01:09:39They're firing from there!
01:09:41They're firing from there!
01:09:43Let's go.
01:10:14Let's go.
01:10:55Let's go.
01:10:57Lieutenant!
01:10:59Get your men up after him!
01:11:00Push him up that hill!
01:11:22Let's go!
01:11:30Bixio!
01:11:31I'll kill you!
01:11:31Nothing, General!
01:11:32I shot my horse from under me!
01:11:34It's nothing!
01:11:34Take care of yourself!
01:11:36Bring me my horse!
01:11:37My horse!
01:11:38You win!
01:11:49You win!
01:11:52You win!
01:11:55You win!
01:11:55You win!
01:11:56You win!
01:11:58I won!
01:12:08Down to the river, men! Down to the river!
01:12:32We'll cover the boat with cannons!
01:12:41Fire!
01:12:56Fire!
01:13:00Fire!
01:13:09Load those guns!
01:13:18Shoot, you fools!
01:13:19Shoot, you fools!
01:13:31In the mist and smoke of the battlefield, with his kingdom in ruins, Francis II stood among his dead and
01:13:39defeated troops.
01:13:40While Victor Emmanuel, whose purposes were still unclear, rode on toward Naples.
01:13:50Forrest pushed the king toward Naples to control Garibaldi.
01:13:53He's convinced we want to make a republic in Italy, not a monarchy.
01:13:56He's using our victories and discarding us.
01:13:58The truth is that Cavour thinks of Cavour, and is willing to be second only to Victor Emmanuel.
01:14:02Cavour has always urged Victor Emmanuel to get rid of Giuseppe Garibaldi.
01:14:06That's why the king is coming to Naples.
01:14:08They want to take over the kingdom of Naples and Sicily, which we have conquered, thanks to our leader.
01:14:14But we shall march on to Rome!
01:14:16To Rome!
01:14:17Gentlemen, please.
01:14:20Menotti.
01:14:22Hate and envy and jealousy don't count.
01:14:27What does is for our eyes to be always turned toward the unification of Italy.
01:14:34The battle of the Volturno was a defensive battle, not an offensive one.
01:14:40It saved Naples from a return of the Bourbons, but did not destroy their army,
01:14:46which has a force of 40,000 men north of the Volturno.
01:14:51I know that men who want to make Italy a republic are urging me to attack Rome,
01:14:58which was my intention when I first entered Naples.
01:15:02But can we leave the Bourbons to the rear and go safely forward?
01:15:07My friends, we will go to Rome.
01:15:11There'll be a day for that.
01:15:14It's impossible now.
01:15:19Now is for Italy.
01:15:24I've just written the following decree.
01:15:29Italy and Victor Emmanuel.
01:15:32To fulfill a wish dear to the entire nation, I hereby decree.
01:15:37Sicily and Naples, that owe their liberation to Italian courage,
01:15:41are now part of Italy indivisible and one,
01:15:44under its king, Victor Emmanuel, and his descendants.
01:15:49I shall immediately place in the keeping of the king
01:15:52the leadership conferred on me by the nation.
01:15:55My lieutenants are charged with the carrying out.
01:15:59This is my decree.
01:16:02Giuseppe Garibaldi.
01:16:14Let's see what time it is.
01:16:19One of you young men go ahead and see what's happening down the road.
01:16:23After so long a time, I'm looking forward to seeing Victor Emmanuel again.
01:16:28Strange. He shouldn't be far off.
01:16:30Since he's coming from Penofalo, he must have spent the night at Trezenzano.
01:16:34Morning air is damp.
01:16:38Me with his rheumatism.
01:16:42Look, look how damp it is.
01:16:45General. Yes?
01:16:47Listen.
01:16:50General, he's coming back.
01:16:53Don't you hear the sound of bugles in the distance?
01:16:57General, the king is coming.
01:17:01I heard bugles, then I saw a troop of Piedmontese cavalry.
01:17:03My horse, quick!
01:17:04You are dead!
01:17:06You don't hear me?
01:17:06No.
01:17:08We're seeing you.
01:17:08You are dead!
01:17:08Two.
01:17:13Three.
01:17:17Two.
01:17:23Two.
01:18:10I salute the first king of Italy.
01:18:14How are you, Garibaldi?
01:18:16Well, your majesty.
01:18:17And you?
01:18:19Fine. Fine.
01:18:21Sire, when I landed on Sicilian soil, I assumed the military leadership and did it in your name.
01:18:28This morning, I'm fulfilling a dream dearer of my heart.
01:18:31I'm placing in your hands the leadership of millions of Italians,
01:18:34who until a few months ago were subject to a stupid despotism.
01:18:41Long live the king!
01:18:42Long live the king of Italy!
01:18:45This is Victor Emmanuel, our king, the king of Italy!
01:18:51Long live the king!
01:18:53This is Victor Emmanuel, our king!
01:19:02Long live the king!
01:19:04And the soldiers who have remained faithful to him are getting ready to give battle once more near Gaeta.
01:19:09I ask your majesty to grant the honor of the first attack to my men and to myself.
01:19:15You've been at it a long time, Garibaldi.
01:19:17Now it's my turn to attack.
01:19:19Your army is tired and mine is fresh.
01:19:21We're going to put you into the reserves.
01:19:23Let's go.
01:20:17Why, it's Garibaldi!
01:20:21Hello.
01:20:25Hello.
01:20:26Hello.
01:20:27Would you give me some water, please?
01:20:29Sure, Garibaldi.
01:20:30Sure, General Garibaldi.
01:20:31It's an honor.
01:20:32If you'll let me, I'll give you something to eat, too.
01:20:34Have a chair.
01:20:43Here you are.
01:20:44Fresh cheese just made yesterday.
01:20:46Got some for you gentlemen, too.
01:20:49Put it on this stool, gentlemen.
01:21:06He really said it.
01:21:08Really.
01:21:11And now we're going to put you in the reserves.
01:21:24There was now nothing left for Giuseppe Garibaldi but to return to his house on the island of Caprera.
01:21:31He could have taken Rome easily and made it the capital of United Italy, but political power stronger than he
01:21:38had willed that the time for that had not yet come.
01:21:43But people would never forget him.
01:21:46They would remember the exile of Caprera in their hearts, and he, the glorious old man, what would he be
01:21:55thinking of in his solitude?
01:22:13They would never look for you.
01:22:55We'll meet again.
01:22:57In Rome.
01:23:29In Rome.
01:23:33In Rome.
01:23:34In Rome.
01:23:39In Rome.
01:23:41In Rome.
01:23:53In Rome.
01:23:55In Rome.
01:23:56In Rome.
01:23:59In Rome.
01:24:01In Rome.
01:24:01In Rome.
01:24:04In Rome.
01:24:15Oh
