Livio Zambeccari

Tito Livio Zambeccari (30 June 1802 – 2 December 1862) was an Italian soldier and journalist known for his participation in the struggle for Italian unification. He was involved in various wars for liberation and skirmishes that marked the Italian struggle for independence between 1821 and 1860. He was frequently forced into exile by the authorities throughout his life. Between 1826 and 1840, he was active on the side of liberalism and nationalism in South America where he participated in several major wars, including the Cisplatine War, the Argentine Civil Wars, and the Ragamuffin War.

Zambeccari's courage and commitment to the liberation cause were widely recognized, but nevertheless among more thoughtful comrades he suffered from a reputation as an outspoken and impulsive buffoon. Felice Orsini wrote: "Zambeccari is a very close friend, but be in no doubt that when danger threatens, in those situations where military insight and resolve are needed, it is unfortunately the case that he is useless. That is a great pity, because the man is devoted to his country."

In the 2003 Brazilian television series "A Casa das Sete Mulheres "("At the home of seven women") the part of Livio Zambeccari is played by Ângelo Antônio.
