    Garibaldi meets the King of Sardinia, Victor Emmanuelle II.
    There were several meetings but this one was at Teano after the Expedition of the Thousand in the Two Sicilies.

    Wow. The chap with the turban seems so calm even with the fighting around him. Anyway, is he by any chance Tippu Sultan?

    1926. The events shown led to days of rioting as people tried to get into (the enigmatic) Campbell's, suicides were reported and Mussolini and his facists were said to have become involved.

    Opening night of the eighth wonder of the world- KONG.

    Or the death of Rudolph Valentino. Campbells is the funeral home. They hired a troupe of fake Fascist honour guards... for some reason.

    Yes, the death of Rudolf Valentino on 23rd August 1926. He was laid in state at Campbell's Funeral Church for several days and they milked it for all the publicity it was worth, which was considerable. On the 24th a crowd est. 100k turned up to view the body lying in state and when they couldn't get in rioted all day and battled with mounted police and the New York police reserve (what ever that is) was called out. Campbell's did indeed hire 4 actors to play Fascist Honour guards that they claimed had been sent by Mussolini himself.
