Visit where Garibaldi, upon his return from America, met with King Victor Emmanuel II, signing the Italian Unification by a famous handshake on October 26, 1860. Meanwhile, the United States were preparing to fight the Civil War, in order to preserve their national union under President Abraham Lincoln.
The tour includes a visit to the Building in Venafro, where King Victor Emmanuel II slept the night before the Unification of Italy, upon meeting with Garibaldi at Taverna Catena.
