This is true, at the later part of his life he had a split with Mazzini who denounced the First International. His work however as a revolutionary was decidedly in favor of the then historically progressive left radicals, who were liberals fundamentally. Engels even says as much that Garibaldi played as a liberal in past times.
Mazzini could be easily described as one of the first social democrats and class collaborationists.
