Capanno Garibaldi
Ravenna, Italy · built 1850
The Capanno Garibaldi (lit. 'Garibaldi's Hut') is a hunting cabin 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) north of Ravenna, in the region of Emilia-Romagna, northern Italy, known for having sheltered Italian revolutionary Giuseppe Garibaldi on the night of 6–7 August 1849, during his escape from Italy after the fall of the short-lived Roman Republic. Originally constructed in 1810, in the delta wetlands between Ravenna and Porto Corsini, the hut was rebuilt in 1834 and 1844. In 1879, the Capanno Garibaldi Conservation Society (Società Conservatrice del Capanno Garibaldi) was founded to preserve the hut's historical legacy. The hut was rebuilt after being damaged by a fire in 1911. The Capanno Garibaldi features on regional tourist itineraries, especially those of Garibaldi's life, and hosts local celebrations for Garibaldi and the Risorgimento.
