Named after the rue Garibaldi, which honours Giuseppe Garibaldi (1807–1882).
Born Joseph Marie Garibaldi in Nice, then part of the French Empire, he counts among the 'fathers of the nation' of Italy. In the Franco-Prussian War he led the Army of the Vosges for France and defended Dijon in January 1871; elected to the French National Assembly without standing, he gave up the seats, as an Italian.
