Editor's Take:
Giuseppe Mazzini dreamed of a united, democratic Italy when it was still a patchwork of kingdoms and foreign-ruled states. Through secret societies, he inspired a generation of young patriots, including Garibaldi. Many of his uprisings failed, and he lived for decades as a hunted exile. Italy was finally united as a monarchy, not the republic he wanted. Yet his idea of nations as free brotherhoods of citizens influenced movements around the world.
