During the Risorgimento, in the battle over the Volturno, some nobles of San Marcellino helped the Garibaldians with money, contributing in a practical way to the unification. General Giuseppe Garibaldi, looking for equipment to finance his army, stopped in Aversa and asked for a loan to the Baroni de Conciliis family. The loan would have been repaid by the Savoy state at a centuplicated rate. The noble family could not grant it to him. Instead it was the wife of the merchant Giuseppe Motti, who assured Garibaldi the necessary amount of money. The woman, a native of San Marcellino, had married the trades Motti and lived in Aversa. The chronicles of the time show that the woman, alone and at night, with a dagger hidden under the shawl, crossed a country road and reached his father's house, convincing him to invest his dowry. She is a character to be admired for the tenacity and courage shown: she had taken considerable risks, considering the historical situation and her status as a woman!
