  • Battle of Aspromonte
rdfs:comment
  • Garibaldi's army marched for three days; on 28 August 1862, the leading regiment led by Garibaldi camped near Gambarie, where the rest of the army was expected to follow within a few days. On 29 August, before Garibaldi's army was reunited, Bersaglieri from the Royal Army reached Garibaldi's camp and attacked. The peculiarity of the situation was again clear as Garibaldi ordered his army not to open fire "on our brothers", and some Bersaglieri changed side during the battle, joining Garibaldi's volunteers. Anyway, despite Garibaldi's order, one wing of his regiment did counter-attack the Bersaglieri: in the chaos that followed, two bullets hit Garibaldi's hip and malleolus. Cease-fire was declared shortly thereafter, with the surrender of Garibaldi.
