Giuseppe Mazzini
Giuseppe Mazzini was the prophet of Italian and European nationalism, whose journal Young Italy and organization Young Europe articulated the vision of a Europe of free nation-states replacing the dynastic order of the Congress of Vienna. Spending much of his life in exile — in Marseille, Geneva, and London — he inspired nationalist movements across the continent and played a leading role in the short-lived Roman Republic of 1849. Though his dream of a democratic Italian republic was frustrated by Cavour and Garibaldi's monarchical solution, his ideas shaped the generation that made the Risorgimento.
