1860. Giuseppe Garibaldi began from Quarto the adventure of the Thousand surrounded by the enthusiasm of the young idealists who had come from all regions of Italy, and with his loyal group of officers, among whom a new profile stands out. Having landed in Sicily, at Marsala, the Thousand begin fighting with the Bourbon army, whose numerical preponderance is immediately evident. Under these conditions, it appears almost impossible for the general to breach the enemy defense and penetrate Palermo. But when he is almost forced to retreat, Garibaldi devises an ingenious plan.

The Illusion is a 2025 Italian drama-comedy that chronicles Giuseppe Garibaldi's legendary 1860 campaign with the Thousand, from their departure in Quarto through their battle against overwhelming Bourbon forces in Sicily. Released January 16, 2025, the film explores how Garibaldi devised an ingenious strategy to breach enemy defenses and reach Palermo when retreat seemed inevitable.
