The Capanno Garibaldi (lit. 'Garibaldi's Hut') is a hunting cabin 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) north of Ravenna, in the region of Emilia-Romagna, northern Italy,[1] known for having sheltered Italian revolutionary Giuseppe Garibaldi on the night of 6–7 August 1849,[2][3] during his escape from Italy after the fall of the short-lived Roman Republic.[2][4]
Originally constructed in 1810,[2][3] in the delta wetlands between Ravenna and Porto Corsini ,[4][5] the hut was rebuilt in 1834 and 1844.[6] In 1879, the Capanno Garibaldi Conservation Society (Italian: Società Conservatrice del Capanno Garibaldi) was founded to preserve the hut's historical legacy.[6] The hut was rebuilt after being damaged by a fire in 1911.[1][7]
The Capanno Garibaldi features on regional tourist itineraries, especially those of Garibaldi's life,[8] and hosts local celebrations for Garibaldi and the Risorgimento.[5][9]
