Napoleon and his descent into Italy had brought a breath of freedom and independence by winning the majority of the population is born so the Italian Risorgimento, born several secret societies (the most famous and the Carbonari Freemasonry) and years ranging from 1848 to 1861 were important because they decided the fate of our people called to free themselves from foreign yoke.
Italy was made by men like Count Cavour, by Mazzini, the sailor Garibaldi, by Gioberti, by Ciro Menotti, by Manzoni, by Mameli, from middle class, intellectuals, soldiers, conspirators who preached Unity and who have suffered death, torture and prisons.
