La commedia raccontata al popolo del Garibaldi che conquista il Regno delle Due Sicilie contando su mille invincibili eroi è una bufala che non ha fondamento.
Sia Vittorio Emanuele che Cavour direttamente o indirettamente lo appoggiarono.

Zenone di Elea – Agosto 2015

Since the very first days of Garibaldi’s dictatorship and for the subsequent years, the rapid conquest of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies by the Piedmont army – occurred, as we said above, with the indirect but concrete support of France and Great Britain – incited a general rising of the populations of the Kingdom in favor of Francis II. Tenths of thousands of people rose up in arms all over the continental regions (just as sixty years before, at the time of anti-Jacobin risings and the Sanfedist epic deeds of Cardinal Ruffo), and caused an insurrection that raised difficulties for the Garibaldian troops first and then for the Piedmont army and government in the first years after the unification.
