Archipelago of La Maddalena: Spargi, Santo Stefano, Caprera,
Santa Maria, Razzoli and Budelli

On our way to the archipelago of La Maddalena, we stopped on the road to visit Saccargia Abby, built in 1116.

The next day we went to visit the last home of Giuseppe Garibald (July 4, 1807 – June 2, 1882) He was an Italian military and political figure. In his twenties, he joined the Carbonari Italian patriot revolutionaries, and fled Italy after a failed insurrection. Garibaldi took part in the War of the Farrapos and the Uruguayan Civil War leading the Italian Legion, and afterward returned to Italy as a commander in the conflicts of the Risorgimento.
He has been dubbed the "Hero of the Two Worlds" in tribute to his military expeditions in both South America and Europe.
He is considered an Italian national hero.

Huge tree on Garibaldi's land!

Enrico and his book Gomorrah
The book describes the clandestine particulars of the business of Camorra, a powerful Neapolitan mafia-like organization. Since 2006, following the publication of the book, the Author has been threatened by several Neapolitan “godfathers”. The Italian Minister of the Interior has granted him a permanent police escort.
The book is worth reading.
We took a boat tour around the archipelago, and look at our captain! :-))
The day was just perfect!
The wild sea onion blooming was B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L"
