Giuseppe Garibaldi (Ney)
- ... that, after composing a portrait bust of Giuseppe Garibaldi, sculptor Elisabet Ney is thought to have provided him with military intelligence during the Third Italian War of Independence? Source: "Garibaldi's short war with Austria was being waged at this time, and ... Elisabet Ney [was] his ardent sympathizer ... [She] engaged in a secret correspondence with [her] hero." (Taylor, Bride Neill (1916). Elisabet Ney, Sculptor. p. 49.)
- Reviewed: West Kill
- Comment: The biography by Cutrer supports the hook more explicitly, but Google has suddenly removed the pages with the relevant text from the Google Books preview; I'll get back my physical copy and add the supporting quotation to this nomination in the next few days.
