About
While in America, Giusseppe Garibaldi met and married Anita Ribeira. When war loomed in Italy in 1848, Anita followed him to defend the Roman Republic. After defeat, they fled; pursued, they hid in the Comacchio marshes. Exhausted by hardship, Anita died on August 1849 in a hut at the Guiccioli farm.
