Camillo Benso Earl of Cavour, Giuseppe Garibaldi, King Vittorio Emanuele of Savoy, Giuseppe Mazzini are considered the most prominent makers of Italy unification.
Giuseppe Mazzini was a key figure in the Italian unification movement as a leader of the Risorgimento. He founded the organization Young Italy, advocating for a united Italian republic and inspiring a sense of nationalism among Italians. Mazzini's writings and speeches played a significant role in galvanizing support for the cause of Italian unification.
Metternich described Mazzini as a dangerous revolutionary and a threat to the established order. He viewed Mazzini's nationalist ideas and calls for Italian unification as subversive and destabilizing to the existing political landscape of Europe.
a) Giuseppe Mazzini's centralized democratic republic. b) Vincenzo Gioberti's federation of existing states headed by the Pope. c) Italian nation built around aristocratic kingdom of Sardinia-Piedmont. The one that prevailed was c. which was under garibaldi.
Giuseppe Garibaldi unified Italy in 1861. He was an anti-Catholic (anti-papist) Freemason and is considered an Italian war hero. The eventual unification of Italy took more than a decade. Garibaldi made several attempts to seize Rome in the mid-1860s, and was captured three times and sent back to his farm. In the Franco-Prussian War, Garibaldi, out of sympathy for the newly formed French Republic, briefly fought against the Prussians. As a result of the Franco-Prussian War, the Italian government took control of Rome, and Italy was essentially united. Garibaldi was eventually voted a pension by the Italian government, and he was considered a national hero until his death on June 2, 1882. http://history1800s.about.com/od/giuseppegaribaldi/p/garibaldibio.htm
Giuseppe Garibaldi was a military man. He helped with Italian unification with his fame and charisma. He backed Victor Emmanuel, king of Piedmont-Sardinia. He later disagreed with Victor Emmanuel and became the dictator of the Two Sicilies. Eventually Victor Emmanuel became king of a united Italy but was nervous about Garibaldi being more popular than him. In 1862, Garibaldi was asked to raise an army to fight the Austrians. Garibaldi raised an army and invaded the papal states instead. King Emmanuel was upset and ordered him taken prisoner.Basically Giuseppe Garibaldi was the type of man that made people want to be part of a united Italy. He was able to fight well against his enemies.
Giuseppe Garibaldi was a follower of an earlier leader Giuseppe Mazzini, who believed in a republican Italy built by the people. Garibaldi was also committed to achieving national unification through a popular movement. He stood for unification from below. The most important thing that Garibaldi did was creating "The Thousand" out of his volunteer fighters, determined to bring down the unpopular Bourbon King of the Two Sicilies, Francis II. Garibaldi's troops took Sicily and insisted that it keep its autonomy. After this first insurrection, his troops continued on to mainland Italy. By later 1860, Garibaldi's forces, along with local support, had taken Naples and toppled the kingdom of Francis II. However, after all of these successes, Garibaldi was stopped from conquering Rome, where French troops guarded the pope. A shred Sardinian nobleman Count Camillo Benso di Cavour stood for unification guided from above by the government. When he saw that French and Austrian intervention could occur when Garibaldi's forces placed a hazard to the pope, he ordered Garibaldi to cede his military authority to the king Victor Emmanuel. He did not want French and Austrian intervention because it would be an immediate threat to Italy. When Victor Emmanuel had military authority, most of Italy was united under a single rule. Thus Garibaldi was significant in that he contributed greatly to the unification and nationhood of Italy.
