Garibaldi, the romantic rebel, was born in Nice. He worked as a sailor and became a merchant marine captain. Saint-Simon believed that man should adopt humanity as his homeland and fight for people struggling against tyranny.
For whoever fought such a battle, more than a soldier, was a hero. Dazzled by these ideals, Garibaldi now had a new horizon—that of becoming a hero. Followers of Saint-Simonianism believed in the importance of brotherhood. Some followers even encouraged the wearing of clothing that buttoned down the back.
Needing help to unbutton your clothes symbolized your need for others in general indicating that our lives are all interrelated. He was always on the run. And always in trouble. Nevertheless, Garibaldi was audacious and brave. The Argentine dictator Manuel Rosas once caught him and had him hung by his feet and whipped. For the oppressed and idealistic, there was no doubt that Garibaldi was indeed a hero.
In Brazil where the air smelled of revolution and intrigue, he continued to fight for just causes. But the life of a revolutionary, despite the people around you, is often lonely.

Maybe Maria Sophie just had a lot of pent up frustration to release. Francis II had a malformation that kept him from consummating the marriage with her. Frustrated, Maria Sophia spent much time bathing in the sea of Naples, smoking cigars, and riding her horse around town. After the couple was forced to flee to Rome, she had an affair with a Papal Guard Zuavo , got pregnant, and was sent off to Bavaria to avoid scandal. Using a technique of swabbing the lips of the mummies and comparing the swabs with those of current patients, scientists were able to ascertain that the teenage girl was suffering from an illness similar to tuberculosis when she died.

All three are believed to have been sacrificed and were found with a collection of precious objects.
