In honor of the bicentenary of Giuseppe Garibaldi's
birth, the city of Taganrog will host two new exhibitions
at the local museums and the inauguration of the renovated
Garibaldi stela.
The obelisk in honor of Garibaldi's visit to Taganrog
was inaugurated on June 2, 1961 for the centenary of Italy's
liberation. The local artist Yakovenko realized the project
of the monument. The bas-relief (Italian hero's profile
and a palm branch) was produced by the artist Baranov.
In 1986, the bas-relief was replaced due to technical
reasons and a new bas-relief by the artist Beglov was
installed.
