Giuseppe Garibaldi unified Italy in 1861. He was an anti-Catholic (anti-papist) Freemason and is considered an Italian war hero. The eventual unification of Italy took more than a decade. Garibaldi made several attempts to seize Rome in the mid-1860s, and was captured three times and sent back to his farm. In the Franco-Prussian War, Garibaldi, out of sympathy for the newly formed French Republic, briefly fought against the Prussians.

As a result of the Franco-Prussian War, the Italian government took control of Rome, and Italy was essentially united. Garibaldi was eventually voted a pension by the Italian government, and he was considered a national hero until his death on June 2, 1882.
