Mazzini's supporters and I attempted a few uprisings in support of the liberalization of Italy, but were quickly suppressed. However, our efforts were not all in vain; Young Italy inspired the beginning of the Risorgimento, another attempt at Italian unification and liberalization which I participated in.
Unlike the efforts of Mazzini and his followers, I am happy to be able to say that the Risorgimento did actually gradually achieve a certain level of Italian unification.

To my friend, Garibaldi.
ReplyDeleteHello, my comrade and fellow nationalist!
I am so very pleased in your absolute success in the unification of Italy. Your immediate support definitely helped in Young Italy - no, OUR - goal in unifying our country.
Since Italy was always meant to be an entire country and not split into many pieces, God has granted the success of our goal, even if it took us many tries. However, if we were to quickly achieve this, then we would not appreciate this sense of unity as much.
In hopes of a correspondence,
your friend, Mazzini
Hello Garibaldi,
ReplyDeleteI see that we share the same first name!!! Anyways I am amazed by the success that you have had in Italy. The unification of Italy is the only thing that our country needs. We do not need anything else, and all that you have done was imperative for our country. Our Italia's unification will not let us down in the long run.
I will talk to you very soon,
Mazzini
