Garibaldi red in the streets of Barga

  On Sunday 26th August during a rally in Venice, the leader of the Lega Nord, Umberto Bossi declared that having Rome as the capital of Italy was an error made by Savoia and Garibaldi. He went on to call Giuseppe Garibaldi a cretin. Almost two months after this event, here in Barga came the reply to Bossi's accusations with a Garibaldi festa which filled the city with children, a 30 metre flag paraded through the streets and of course music and speeches 

Those invited to the event included Salvatore Orlando, president of the KME group, The Prefetto of Brescia, Paolo Tronca, General Maurizio Fioravanti, Comandante della Brigate Folgore

Barga was one of the first cities in Italy to erect a statue to Giuseppe Garibaldi (1807-1882) (article here)The foremost military figure and popular hero of the age of Italian unification known as the Risorgimento with
Cavour and Mazzini he is deemed one of the makers of Modern Italy.

Bossi ha poi spiegato che in tutto il mondo «le rivolte fiscali hanno portato alla nascita degli Stati moderni». Poi ha fatto citazioni storiche dicendo che la gente del Nord ha creduto «stupidamente ai Cavour e ai Garibaldi, tutti stronzi. Siamo qui – ha sottolineato – per far nascere quello Stato che doveva nascere con un patto tra Venezia e la classe politica milanese. Oggi tocca a noi fare la Padania che non fu fatta allora. Il destino ci dà questa possibilità e bisogna andare fino in fondo. Noi non ce ne andremo fin quando avremo raggiunto i nostri Parlamenti la nostra libertà, non prima». source Corriere della Sera
