“The Monument to Giuseppe Garibaldi in Piacenza was created by the sculptor Enrico Astorri in 1889 with inauguration taking place on 2 June. The work is composed of an artificial stone base in the shape of a rocky spur on top of which stands the bronze statue of Garibaldi with his arms folded, military cape and Hungarian cap. Below, the figure of a Garibaldian during a military action. The sketch of the monument is preserved in the city's Risorgimento Museum while the bronze casting was cast by the Romani brothers' foundry in Milan.” (Monumento a Garibaldi, Wikipedia)
