Subsequent, in January 1860 resigned from the army by reaching in May Garibaldi in Sicily with the expedition organized by A. Bertani and led by C. Agnetta; He did the whole campaign, distinguishing himself in the clashes of St. Leucio and S. Angelo. After completing the expedition he devoted engineering, entering the construction company of the Milan-Pavia railway. But in 1862 it was again with Garibaldi to Aspromonte; In 1866, with the battalion of Lombard bersaglieri, fought at Vezza d’Oglio, earning a silver medal. As soon as the conflict ended, he made a brief political trip to the United States with Mazzini and Garibaldi’s presentation letters. In September 1867 he was in Geneva with Garibaldi at the congress of peace; And, in the same year, participated in the expedition of Mentana.

In 1876 he went to Morocco under the auspices of the Italian Geographic Society for the study of the economic situation of that country and the possible establishment of commercial farms on the Atlantic coast.

His writings deserve special attention to the two volumes of memoirs, from San Martino to Mentana (Milan 1892), which occupies a remarkable place in Garibaldi's autobiographical literature, and episodes lived (articles largely released in New Anthology from 1873 to 1922, And collected by GA Esengrini, with P. Boselli, Prefect of Varese, 1929), interesting for geographic relations and the lively re-evocation of the parliamentary life of time.
