The Garibaldi Memorial on Staten Island encloses the cottage where Giuseppe Garibaldi lived from 1851-1853 and was dedicated in 1907 to mark Garibaldi's 100th birthday.[1] Since then, the site has been the location of a number of protests[2] and celebrations[3] on the anniversary of Garibaldi's birth.
