The movement to unite Italy into one cultural and political entity was known as the Risorgimento (literally, "resurgence"). Giuseppe Mazzini and his leading pupil, Giuseppe Garibaldi, failed in their attempt to create an Italy united by democracy. Garibaldi, supported by his legion of Red Shirts-- mostly young Italian democrats who used the 1848 revolutions as a opportunity for democratic uprising--failed in the face of the resurgence of conservative power in Europe. However, it was the aristocratic politician named Camillo di Cavour who finally, using the tools of realpolitik, united Italy under the crown of Sardinia.
Cavour was known as a politician who favoured a liberal cause. He learnt from the failure of the 1848 revolutions. He realized that internal strength and external aid were necessary for the success of Italian unification.

∙ 15y agoCavour wanted Italy united for some of the many reasons that any Italian did, national pride being near the forefront. A united Italy also meant freedom from Austrian rule for some of the Northern states. Secondly, Cavour wanted Italy united under the leadership of his own province, Piedmont, and his king, Victor Emmanuel II. This would increase his own power if he retained his position of chief minister under the new king of Italy. Unfortunately, Cavour did not live long after the unification to enjoy the fruits of his labor.
