The monumental work, dedicated to the "Hero of Two Worlds," Giuseppe Garibaldi (Nice 1807 - Caprera 1882), was created in marble in 1906 by the master sculptors Repetto of Lavagna, based on a design by the Lombard sculptor Odoardo Tabacchi (Valganna 1831 - Milan 1905). The monument depicts the leader on a rock, his face turned toward the sea and his right index finger extended to indicate the direction Garibaldi's followers should follow. His left hand holds a sword. The rock symbolizes the rock of Quarto (Genoa), from which the Expedition of the Thousand set out for Sicily in 1860 to overthrow the Bourbon government. The monument is located in the historic Ghiaia neighborhood, which is deeply rooted in its traditions; the most famous is the Spring Festival, which consists of the lighting of a bonfire and the free distribution of fritters. "A San Gioxeppe, se ti peu, impi a poela de frisceu..." - "A San Giuseppe, se ti peu, impi a poela de frisceu..." - "A San Giuseppe, se ti peu, impi a poela de frisceu..." - "On Saint Joseph's Day, if you can, fill the pan with fritters." The celebration, in honor of Saint Joseph (March 19), takes place the following Sunday. (c) https://www.comune.santa-margherita-ligure.ge.it/it/vivere/735833

The statue is a marble sculpture dating back to the early 20th century, created by Pietro Capurro (Novi Ligure, 1856) on the specific orders of the then mayor of Santa Margherita, Angelo Rainusso, who wanted it in Piazza Mazzini.

The complex was built on the original Chapel of Our Lady of Mercy, erected before 1300; a hospice with a portico built in the 14th century by the Knights of the Order of Malta; and the church, with its sacristy and adjoining living quarters, built between the late 14th and early 15th centuries. The interior of the church is frescoed by Teramo Piaggio di Zoagli, a 16th-century Genoese painter; the counterfaçade features a fresco of "The Last Judgement" by Luca Cambiaso. An ancient statue of the Madonna and Child, said to have been brought from Flanders by sailors in the late 14th century, is venerated here. The statue was crowned on August 17, 1879. It is subject to the parish priest of Sant'Andrea di Rovereto. The main solemnities occur on March 25 (Annunciation) and the second Sunday after Easter (Our Lady of Grace).
