Giuseppe Garibaldi (Ney) edit
Giuseppe Garibaldi by Elisabet 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.)

- 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.

- ALT1: ... that after composing a portrait bust of Giuseppe Garibaldi (pictured), sculptor Elisabet Ney is thought to have provided him with military intelligence during the Third Italian War of Independence?
Interesting, on good sources, no copyvio obvious, image licensed and desirable to illustrate the topic. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:40, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
