 PIO IX - MASTAI FERRETTI
Anche Giuseppe Mazzini non rimase immune a quell'entusiasmo: nel 1847 scrisse al Papa una famosa lettera per esortarlo a prendere la guida del movimento per l'unità e l'indipendenza d'Italia.
Tuttavia, anche dopo il fallimento della prima guerra d'indipendenza, cui prese parte come comandante dei volontari pisani, egli volle salvare ugualmente quello scoppio di fervore papale perché nel nome di Pio IX si creò un primo embrione di coscienza nazionale.
"Il mio gesto, ha affermato, vuol essere una risposta allo scempio che dal palcoscenico del Meeting di Rimini si vuol far cadere sul nostro Risorgimento e su quanti si sono battuti per l'unità d'Italia, primi fra tutti Giuseppe Mazzini, Giuseppe Garibaldi e Camillo Benso di Cavour".
