The most famous member of Young Italy…

1840 CE to 1851 CE

The most famous member of Young Italy is the revolutionary and general Giuseppe Garibaldi, renowned for his extremely loyal followers, who lead the Italian republican drive for unification in Southern Italy.

However, the Northern Italy monarchy of the House of Savoy in the Kingdom of Sardinia, whose government is led by Camillo Benso, Count of Cavour, also had ambitions of establishing a united Italian state.

In the context of the 1848 liberal revolutions that sweep through Europe, an unsuccessful first war of independence is declared on Austria.
