Lovely colours and composition. I like the "real" setting for this porcelain(?) figure... as if he's going to turn around and guzzle that wine.

My grandfather was on the Italian ship Garibaldi during WWI. The ship was sunk in the Mediterreanian Sea by the Germans but my grandfather and many of his mates survived. They floated on debris for 3 days before another ship picked them up. After the "war to end all wars" he and his wife left his town in Abruzzi and in 1920 arrived in Philadelpia, then later The Bronx. When I was a kid, they had a picture of the ship Garibaldi on the wall.
Hey, that big wine jug really reminds me of the old days! This house looks like my grandparents. Are Italians all the same or what!

HAH! I love the expression on his face and his crossed arms!
Great dof here.
Isn't there a statue of Garibaldi in Washington Square Park?

Thank you soo much to all who kindly gave their remarks.
A little bit about this particular statue. It belongs to my mother. I was there the other day for her b-day, (good time). I saw it, had brought over a jug of table wine, carlo Rossi's Paesano, to celebrate her b-day with. She then showed me this huge plant that was growing out of a cabbage they had left in a dark place somewhere in their house. She asked me to take a picture of the cabbage's new foliage, ( I love the taste of cabbage by the way), sprouting out allover the place.
Well, I saw this as an opportunity to juxtapose all of the aforementioned objects. And voila-ta-ta, this image is the results.
Again, many thanks for the visits.

Festive outlook! -- I'm admin for an exciting new group to celebrate WILLIAM PHILLIPS [1826-1911] "ECO-CENTENARY 2011" - UK-IRELAND, and we'd love to have this image added to the group!
We hope you'll join, and help us discover more about Phillips' UK – Irish humanitarian assistance to Lancashire, and Ireland; his Irish magistracy, and residence in Achill, and Derrynasliggan, Leenane, Connemara, Co. Galway; and his youthful visit to Italy, presumably circa 1847-49, when he acted as "an agent for Mazzini and Garibaldi in the days when Ferdinand [nicknamed Bomba] was Sovereign of The Sicilies" [Obituary, Times, 27 Feb., 1911], before developing his London Coal Exchange career, his London School Board reforms; his North Park, Eltham ’trees-as-community lungs’ focus in SE London, plus his homes - Hazelwood House, Eltham, and Sydenham Rise, Forest Hill. We follow his children's associations with * *Bromley, Kent;* * plus Elmstead, and Chislehurst, with Rhynwick Lodge, 170 Woodbridge Road, Ipswich, his grandchildren, in Willowcroft, Sevenoaks, Tunbridge Wells, plus in Colchester, in Northamptonshire, and in Tasmania, Australia, via our group discussions. He died at HOVE, BRIGHTON, in 1911.
Please link us with BUSINESS & CIVIC GROUPS, etc., plus eco and sail training groups, arts-cultural and historical societies, to plan ECO-CENTENARY 2011 events, plus to trace former homes, etc., to discover where Wm. Phillips resided, plus to find his descendants!! -- We hope all will join in to make this CENTENARY immensely popular and delightful by whatever eco-living means appeals to our environmental festive creativity and social inspiration.
