  count camillo benso di cavour   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
With the election of the liberal Pope Pius IX to the papacy in 1846, Cavour felt that the chance for him to advocate reform had come.
In 1847 he founded Il Risorgimento ("The Resurgence," later to become a general term for the unification of Italy), a newspaper espousing liberalism, constitutionalism, and unification.
Pressured by the influence of Il Risorgimento and by the mood of dissent in his kingdom, Charles Albert granted Sardinia a Charter of Liberties on February 8, 1848.

 Il Museo del Risorgimento
This monument-which was inaugurated in 1911-would have housed the Central Museum of the Risorgimento, destined to gather the testimonies of the political, economical, and social transformation of Italy during the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries.
The gallery is divided into single sections pivoting on the major stages of the Risorgimento struggles: from the Restoration, which followed the fall of Napoleon, to 1848; from the Roman Republic set up in 1849 to the exploits of the Thousand (1860), to the rejoining of Rome to Italy (1870).
At the same time, along the gallery, a parallel and complementary route aims at illustrating particular historical "themes": the Civic Guard, the brigandage, the political satire, the historical depiction techniques during the 19th century (from drawings to photography), the relics, the Italian Flag, the coins and medals.

Most nationalists of the Risorgimento came from bourgeois backgrounds, although a large minority (about 15 percent) was made up of downwardly mobile sons of the lesser aristocracy or upwardly mobile sons of the petty merchants and artisans in the large cities.
Because the Risorgimento exiles were articulate and bourgeois, their political lives in Italy and abroad are easier to document than the lives of the radical activists of humbler origin during later mass migrations.
The long-term legacy of the Risorgimento was an Italian state without a secure or a united nation to support it and a worldwide scattering of Italian citizens uninterested in creating a coherent diaspora nationalism like that of Jews, Greeks, or Poles, with their clear focus on change in the homeland.

After a brief Napoleonic interval, the liberal revolutions of the early 19th century, known as the Italian Risorgimento, re-established the borders and the order of the Savoy ruling class that led the process of independence throughout the peninsula.
The Risorgimento and the First World War left the city a refuge for free European spirits, with a strong social conscience, the first headquarters of Confindustria (the nascent association of Italian industrialists) and, a few years later, with Fiat, the European car capital.
In the two world wars, vast numbers of local inhabitants left for the front, to then return to peace, rebuilding the cities and creating the economic boom: spreading wealth ecumenically and replacing the needs of the body with those of the soul, providing Torino with its most recent occasion, the fourth, to be a capital.

When the story opens, the Risorgimento is ongoing, but it is clear that it will be ultimately successful, and that the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies will be absorbed into the newly unified, somewhat more democratic, Italy.
Several long chapters, separated by months, follow the progress of the Risorgimento at a distance, and more closely follow events which impinge directly on Don Fabrizio's life, yet which reflect the coming societal changes.
These include the plebiscite to confirm popular support for the unification of Italy, his nephew Tancredi's love affair and eventual marriage to the daughter of a wealthy but decidedly lower class neighbor, his daughter's reaction to the attentions of a friend of Tancredi's, and Father Pirrone's visit to his home village.

 Camillo Benso di Cavour
Cavour, although he realized that a really Liberal pope was an impossibility, saw the importance of the movement and the necessity of profiting by it.
Together with Balbo, P. di Santa Rosa, and M. Castelli, he founded a newspaper at Turin called Il Risorgimento, which advocated the ideas of constitutional reform in Piedmont, with a view to preparing that country for an important role in the upheaval which seemed imminent.
He is undoubtedly the greatest figure of the Risorgimento, and although other men and other forces cooperated in the movement, it was Cavour who organized it and skilfully conducted the negotiations which overcame all, apparently insuperable, obstacles.
