Abstract
This image illustrates the historic handshake between General Garibaldi - who had just defeated and conquered the Kingdom of Naples - and Sardininan King Victor Emanuel II - who had just conquered the papal territories of Marche and Umbria, and would be soon proclaimed first King of Italy by the newly-constituted Italian parliament. The meeting between Garibaldi's men, coming from south, and the King's troops, marching from north, took place in Teano (near Caserta) on October 26, 1860 and concluded the victorious "thousand-men expedition." Victor Emanuel's purpose in meeting Garibaldi was to prevent the General from continuing his war campaign by attacking Rome, thus triggering the intervention of French King Napoleon III and jeopardizing the conquests already achieved.
