Risorgimento
Risorgimento (It. ‘Resurgence’) Nationalist movement (1859–70) resulting in the unification of Italy. With the restoration of Austrian and Bourbon rule in 1815, revolutionary groups formed, notably the Young Italy movement of
Mazzini, whose aim was a single, democratic republic. Mazzini's influence was at its peak in the
Revolutions of 1848. In Sardinia-Piedmont (the only independent Italian state), the aim of the chief minister, Conti di
Cavour, was a parliamentary monarchy under the royal House of Savoy. Securing the support of France under Napoleon III in a war against Austria, Cavour acquired much of Austrian-dominated
n Italy in 1859. In 1860,
Garibaldi conquered Sicily and Naples. Although Garibaldi belonged to the republican tradition of Mazzini, he cooperated with Cavour, and the Kingdom of Italy was proclaimed in 1861, under
Victor Emmanuel II of Savoy. Other regions were acquired later. Rome, the future capital, was seized when the French garrison withdrew in 1870.
