The happy kingdom of the two Sicily! Happy, it could be called so, as, even with all of its sins that plagued it, its government was at least interested in being sure to not to starve its people, it is known how much the Bourbons were zealous to maintain the bread cheap, job that is barely aknowledged and done by those brilliant minds ("cime" is sarcastic) who now rule the country.
Those are his word in his latest auto-biography "I Mille". In this book He admites that all of his previous memoirs are written in a too romanticized way, scolding himself for not having written a more storically-accured biography earlier.
Garibald hated Cavour and the Savoys, he was a repubblican they were monarchists, he was a socialist and Cavour was a liberal, we wanted to reach Rome and couldn't because Savoys after Napoleon III stopped him, Savoy de facto gave Nice, his homecountry, to France (Napoleon again) and so on.
In said "I Mille", He lashed out at Vittorio Emanuele and the government, who Garibaldi calls savoyian rather than Italian (the king used to spoke french and hated to speak italian, he also had gross manners, here some anecdote: He was once invited by Napoleon III to Paris for a dance recital, there he mixed-up dancers for prostitutes and tryed to pay them) and then he blames himself because in order to archieve the italian unification he put aside his skepticism for Savoys, which he himself considered a mistake afterward.
