In Palermo, a monument to a Hungarian Italian hero is concealed from view.
Hungarian and Italian plaques are a reminder of the relatively recent formation of Italy as a single state. A plaque hidden in plain sight on the wall of a military barracks commemorates the role of Hungarian military leader Lajos Tüköry in the “Expedition of the Thousand” campaign to free Sicily from the Bourbon Spanish rulers in 1860—a major step in the struggle to unify Italy.
