This April 1970 photo shows
when the Garibaldi statue in
Washington Square Park was
being moved as part of the park’s
renovation.
The monument, featuring a
bronze statue on a granite pedestal,
was moved about 15 feet east to allow
construction of a promenade in
the park, according to the Parks Department.
During the relocation, a time capsule
was discovered that had been
placed when the monument was
dedicated in 1888. The glass vessel
contained several documents,
including newspaper accounts of
Italian nationalist Garibaldi’s death
in 1882, a history of the Committee
for the Monument of Garibaldi, and
news clippings and a poster for the
statue’s dedication.
General Giuseppe Garibaldi
(1807-82) fought for Italy’s unifi cation
in the mid-19th century. The
statue’s sculptor, Giovanni Turini,
was a volunteer member of Garibaldi’s
Fourth Regiment during an 1866
war between Italy and Austria.
