MEDICI, GIACOMO (1817-1882)

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 41 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MEC-MIC
MEDICI, GIACOMO (1817-1882) , Italian patriot and soldier, was born at
Milan
  in January 1817. Exiled in 1836, he fought in Spain against the Carlists between 1836 and 1840, and in 1846 joined Garibaldi at
Montevideo
 . Returning to Italy with Garibaldi in 1848, he raised a company of volunteers to fight against Austria, and commanded the volunteer vanguard in Lombardy, proceeding thence to Rome, where, he gained distinction by defending the " Vascello," a position near the Porta San Pancrazio, against the French. During the siege of Rome he himself was wounded. In the wa,r of 1859 he commanded a volunteer
regiment
 , and was sent by Cavour into
Tirol
 . In 186o he tried in vain to dissuade Garibaldi from the Marsala expedition, but, after his
chief
 's departure, he sailed for Sicily with the second expedition, taking
part
  in the whole campaign, during which he forced Messina to capitulate after an eight days' siege: Joining the
regular
  army, he was appointed military commandant of
Palermo
 , in which capacity he facilitated the abortive campaign of Garibaldi in 1862. In 1866 he commanded the division which invaded
Tirol
 , but the effect of his victories was neutralized by the conclusion of peace. Returning to
Palermo
  he did good
work
  in restoring order in Sicily. He became a senator in 187o, and marquis of the " Vascello " and first aide-de-camp to the king in 1876. He died on the 9th of
March
  1882.
