Garibaldi received the support of two revolutionary comrades and couldn't help but shed tears: "I swear, I love France and Italy equally deeply. Whenever I hear the word 'homeland,' it's as if I'm seeing the first flash of the lighthouse on the horizon. When the French July Revolution occurred in 1830, my joy was even greater than that of many French sailors aboard.
Because I suddenly realized there were truly people sacrificing themselves to save Italy! Paris overthrew the Bourbon Dynasty, sheltered so many Italian exiles, and actively supported our cause. Overnight, we seemed united again, just as we had under the leadership of Napoleon in the French Empire and the Italian Kingdom."
Perhaps to future generations, it might seem very strange for an Italian to empathize with the French.
