A to Z Challenge: Garibaldi

This month brings the A to Z Challenge, which I choose to meet with a series of words that thus far may have escaped your attention, sometimes deservedly so. Today's word is

garibaldi
--which I write in lowercase on purpose. The woman's red blouse on the left is a garibaldi, named after the Italian patriot Giuseppe Garibaldi.

I seem to have seen Garibaldi as a last name for Italian designers? It just rolls off your tongue, doesn't it? Appropriate name for an article of clothing.

A quick Wiki search turned up David Garibaldi, an artist, and a city in Oregon. Hmm, I never knew that.

And I love Garibaldi biscuits--known as flies' cemeteries when I was at school.

I'm loving the fact that not only did you find and comment on my blog, your A-Z posts are nice and short. I like both red shirts in this one.

Thanks, Bob.
