Garibaldi and his thousand volunteers set out on their invasion of Bourbon Sicily
At ten in the evening, Giuseppe Garibaldi and his group of insurgents left Quarto on the Italian coast in boats to rendezvous with two steamers from Genoa that were to carry them on their invasion of Sicily. The ships arrived in the early morning of the next day and Garibaldi and his thousand volunteers were on their way to the Bourbon controlled province. (By John Osborne)
