In Giuseppe’s autobiography, he wrote “Had I not close to me my Anita, my treasure, with a heart burning as warmly as my own in the cause of peoples?”

He also went on to say that she was the “Queen of his soul” and the “woman I still weep for.”

My use of the phrase Tesoro Mio was my way of honoring his love and devotion for her.

Ruthie was half indigenous however, no one ever mentioned what tribe she was from. My favorite passage from Garibaldi and Rio Grande do Sul’s War of Independence from Brazil: “Ruthie, for her part, was prouder than any bird-of-paradise than I ever saw, and at least twice more huggable.”(less)
