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)
