I give you a small thread on a, possibly overlooked, piece of #ClassicalReception in late 19th century Italy.

Some may have stumbled upon the notice of the rediscovery of an honorific shield for national hero Giuseppe #Garibaldi The shield was kept at the Rome's Museo del Risorgimento from where it disappeared in 2000 and was now found in a private dwelling.
