The Monument to Garibaldi is a bronze equestrian statue of Giuseppe Garibaldi, the hero of Italian independence atop a pedestal in the homonymous piazza on Corso Silvani Fedi, in Pistoia, region of Tuscany, Italy.
In 1909, the wreath at the base was added, which contains a depiction of fasces.
The initial plans in 1882 for a monument envisioned a simple bust of the patriot, but others envisioned a more dramatic monument, this set up a debate that lasted decades.
The next debate was where to site the statue, with the Catholic lobbies opposing placement of the statue of the anticlerical Garibaldi in the central Piazza del Duomo.
The Chiesa del Tau faces the small Piazza Garibaldi.
