GROSSETO - His name was Liberale Scotti, and he was a Maremma patriot who, at the age of 14, left as a volunteer to join the troops of Giuseppe Garibaldi. In his memory this afternoon the mayor of Grosseto Emilio Bonifazi and the family, represented by Giuseppina Scotti, discovered a plaque in memory of the patriot born in Grosseto in 1851. Joining the troops of Garibaldi, he soon assumed the role of "corporal quartermaster" And in 1867 he participated in the battle of Mentana to free Rome. What this earned him the "medal of merit of the liberation of Rome". In the plaque, placed in via Mazzini 119 right next to his home, he is remembered as a “Passionate figure of a Garibaldi patriot, a fighter in Farnese and Mentana, a witness of faith in the great ideals that made Italy. which shows the coats of arms of the city of Grosseto and of the Scotti family, was created with the patronage and support of the municipal administration in memory of a man from Grosseto who believed in freedom of thought, in the ideals of his homeland and his own history. , placing them before his own life. On the occasion, the original red shirt of the Garibaldians and some relics preserved by the family were also exhibited.
