Anita Garibaldi (Brazilian Portuguese: [ɐˈnitɐ ɡɐɾiˈbawdʒi], Italian: [aˈniːta ɡariˈbaldi]; born Ana Maria de Jesus; 30 August 1821 – 4 August 1849) was a Brazilian republican revolutionary. She was the wife and comrade-in-arms of Italian revolutionary Giuseppe Garibaldi. Their partnership epitomized the spirit of the 19th century's Age of Romanticism and revolutionary liberalism.
