id=intelliTXT>When Italy and France meet this year, they will for the first

birth of Giuseppe Garibaldi.</span></font></b> <br>
<br>
Garibaldi is regarded as the man who changed Italy from a "geographical
expression" into a country. He marched around getting rid of all the
little states and is regarded as the father of the republic. The pope did not
like him but and eventual treaty brought reconciliation with the papacy and
independence for the Vatican. As Garibaldi was born over the border in Nice,
became a general in the French army during the Franco-Prussian War and it was
from France that he "invaded" Italy. <br>
<br>
Then, too, Italian rugby is much influenced by France. <br>
<br>
England and Scotland have the Calcutta Cup and the Four Home Unions the Triple
Crown, now a tangible trophy. There was nothing for the other two but now they
have the Garibaldi Trofeo/Trophée/Trophy. The International Rugby Board
approved the trophy on 6 December 2006. <br>
<br>
The designer of the trophy is himself interesting - Jean-Pierre Rives, in his
time the blond French warrior with blood trickling down his face, captain of
France 32 times. He is now a professional sculptor and he designed this new
trophy. </span><br>
