Detailed explanation-1: -GIUSEPPE MAZZINI, (1805-1872) Italian nationalist and patriot, who, together with Giuseppe Garibaldi, Camillo Benso di Cavour, and Victor Emmanuel II, is considered one of the “patron saints” of the Italian Risorgimento . While still in his teens Mazzini committed himself to the cause of Italian independence and unity.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mazzini organized a new political society called Young Italy. It was a secret society formed to promote Italian unification: “One, free, independent, republican nation.” Mazzini believed that a popular uprising would create a unified Italy, and would touch off a European-wide revolutionary movement.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: Giuseppe Mazzini was an Italian revolutionary who was born in Genoa in 1807. He was a member of Carbonari’s secret society. In 1831, at the age of 24, he was exiled for attempting a revolution in Liguria.
Detailed explanation-4: -Mazzini believed that God had intended nations to be the natural units of mankind. So Italy could not continue to be a patchwork of small states and kingdoms. It had to be forged into a single unified republic within a wider alliance of nations. This unification from above could be the basis of Italian unity.
