Great-grandchildren, now I want you! This is Giuseppe Garibaldi’s call to all descendants of his followers to send photos, news, and peculiarities related to their ancestors.
Garibaldini in famiglia is the new social campaign created by Musei Garibaldini of Caprera, as part of the new communication strategy which has seen the renewal of the website and the logo, the creation of paper and road signs, videos, and a regular communication on social media, press, ports, and airports.
With a sponsored post, the Musei Garibaldini of Caprera are inviting all descendents of Garibaldi’s followers to send photos of their ancestors. The posted material will become part of a digital archive, and of a virtual exhibition that will be shown on a screen at the Memoriale. The initiative is an essential part of the program scheduled for the 160th anniversary of the enterprise of the Mille, which began in Quarto on 5 May, 1860. When the current conditions will allow, there will be a “physical” exhibition at the Museums with an extraordinary gallery of characters who accompanied Garibaldi in his endeavors.
It is another way to connect the past and the present, and to make the spirit that inspired the hero from Nice always current. That is the reason why the guidelines of the communication are Garibaldi is alive, and Garibaldi, the hero of our worlds.
