The Garibaldi Panorama & the Risorgimento digital archive aims to provide a multimedia resource for the interdisciplinary study and teaching of the life and deeds of one of the main protagonists of the Italian unification process, Giuseppe Garibaldi (1807-1882). The project focuses in particular on how Garibaldi’s image and his military actions were perceived by foreign public opinion of his time, across Europe and the Americas. At the heart of this archive is a dynamic visualization of the Garibaldi Panorama (1860), a unique survival of a popular form of 19th-century public art, part of the Ann S. K. Brown Military Collection at Brown University. Editor: Massimo Riva.
