E-text prepared by Jonathan Ingram, Jayam, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team
"The Liberation of Italy, 1815-1870" by Countess Evelyn Martinengo-Cesaresco is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book examines the complex web of events, people, and sentiments that contributed to the unification of Italy, a process often marred by struggle and strife. It focuses on the pivotal factors leading to Italian unity and the social movements surrounding the struggle for independence, while highlighting the emotional and patriotic fervor that powered the movement. At the start of the book, the author sets the stage for Italy's journey towards liberation, tracing the evolution of national sentiment from historical figures like Dante and Machiavelli to contemporary protagonists of the Risorgimento. Through the lens of significant events and influential personalities, including the Carbonari secret society and the nefarious political intrigues of the time, the opening section outlines the tumultuous atmosphere of early 19th-century Italy. It foreshadows the eventual culmination of Italy's political awakening by recognizing the emotional and intellectual legacy that inspires the struggle for unity, while also noting the initial failures and complexities encountered along the way.
