Why Garibaldi Sailing?
The answer will begin with a question: where was Giuseppe Garibaldi born? Where did he grow up?
In my hometown, Nice.
Although often associated with Italy, the name Garibaldi should first resonate in the County of Nice, a time when this city was neither Italian nor French.
In a way, a country in its own right. When you know the character of the people of Nice, their love for others and the thirst for freedom that shaped their heritage, Garibaldi, Hero of the Two Worlds and liberator of peoples, could only have come from this magnificent part of the world.
Did Nice play as much of a part as Mazziniin creating the legend of GARIBALDI.
His father, his particular Catholic education, the opportunity to learn Italian: all decisive for his future.
Garibaldi, father of the Italian homeland, unified Italy amid criticism, sometimes severe and mocking.
And that is what will give rise to a gigantic homage the same year, that of General George Vancouver, discovering British Columbia.
Who chose one of the most beautiful mountains to celebrate him.
So it was in 2015 that I discovered, by chance, that Garibaldi would welcome me to my adopted region, through the name of a protected natural park and a lake of incomparable visual purity at the foot of the majestic Mount Garibaldi.
It did not take me long to find a link between the East of my past life and the West of my present life, the starting point of my life project, paying tribute to what means the most to me: FREEDOM.
