who was giuseppe mazzini and giuseppe garibaldi
Answers
Giuseppe Mazzini (1805 – 72) has been called ‘the apostle of Italian republicanism’. He was a doctor’s son, born in Genoa, and was politically minded enough to enlist in the Carbonari (a violent Italian secret society) in the early 1820s, barely eighteen years old. He soon became bored with the group’s sporadic, occasionally revolutionary conspiracies, and decided to found his own revolutionary movement in March, 1831.
Giuseppe Garibaldi (1807 – 82) was an Italian patriot born in Nice. While still very young he became a fervent supporter of Mazzini’s ‘Young Italy’ movement. Outfoxed by the authorities, he was forced to emigrate (perhaps flee would be the better word) to South America in 1834 when he was just 26. Here he achieved fame as a military commander in the defense of Montevideo against the Argentines.
