February 1849 marks the declaration of the ill-fated Roman Republic (February to July 1849). Today, on the leafy Janiculum hill overlooking Trastevere, we can still follow the desperate charge of Garibaldi's impetuous young men as they blazed their path to death and glory from Porta San Pancrazio, and learn the story of the men and women from all walks of life and from many different countries who fought for Italian unity on the Janiculum and in Trastevere against overwhelming odds.
