MONUMENTO AI MILLE
Monument commemorating the victorious expedition of the patriot and his Red Shirts.
Comprising twelve figures surmounted by a victor stretching out his arms in the form of a crown over Garibaldi's head, this monument commemorates the victorious expedition of the patriot and his Red Shirts, who, on the evening of May 5, 1860, embarked from here for Sicily, kick-starting the process of Italian Unification. The bronze group, by Eugenio Baroni, dates from 1915. It's impossible not to spot it, facing out to sea, on a small promontory along the road that runs along the coast between Genoa and Quarto.
