Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza was born in Rome on Jan. 25, 1852, the scion of an old aristocratic family.
Brazza's father was an Italian patriot and a liberal who refused to live under Austrian rule in Udine in northern Italy and settled in Rome, returning to his family estate only after the Friuli region had been ceded to Piedmont in 1859.
Brazza's opposition to the granting of extensive land rights to private firms increasingly brought him into conflict with private interest groups, and in 1898, under a tenuous pretext, Brazza (then on sick leave in Algeria) was relieved of his position without having been given a chance to defend himself.

 Global Voices Online » Blog Archive » Congo-Brazzaville: Should a Colonizer Be Honored Like a Founding ...
This week, the remains of French-Italian explorer and colonialist Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza and his family were exhumed in Algeria and reinterred in a multi-million dollar mausoleum in Brazzaville, the capital of the Republic of the Congo, which still bears his name.
Even if De Brazza was a sort of “just colonialist” fighting against the concessionary companies in the Congo, it really is shocking to see a man who was a colonizer in the service of powerful interests celebrated in this way.
Whether the remains of the De Brazza family are in the Congo or in Algeria, we will always speak of this man in our history, and it would be better then that he is with us, to better understand our history.
