Descrizione:

Sketch of the monument with which sculptor Eugenio Baroni won the national competition held to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the expedition of the Thousand. The young artist's design, inspired by the opening lines of Luigi Mercantini's Inno di Garibaldi (“Si scopron le tombe...”), stood out from the other competitors' entries for the originality of its sculptural solutions, which broke with traditional architectural conventions. Plaster sketch for the monument dedicated to the Departure of the Thousand.
