Landing of a portion of the national army at the Marina di Palmi, Calabria - from a sketch by our special artist in south Italy, 1860. 'Amongst the various landing-places on the Calabrian shore chosen by the several Garibaldian expeditions which set out from Sicily to obtain a footing on the main land was the town of Palmi...Palmi, the chief town of a district, is well built, and contains several good houses. It is situated...on a perpendicular mass of rocky cliff rising from the sea, above a narrow creek, in which the fishing-boats of its inhabitants find a scanty shelter. The cliff is covered with gardens of oranges and olives, behind which are higher and broken hills, clothed with chestnut forests'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860.
