In southern Italy, Garibaldi takes the Calabrian town of Monteleone without a fight

On their 250 mile march up the Calabrian coast towards Naples, Garibaldi and his men took the ancient town of Monteleone without a fight.  In the following days, he pursued the 10,000 men garrison and forced them to surrender near the mountain village of Soveria-Mannelli.  Garibaldi entered Naples on September 7, 1860.  (By John Osborne)
