Biographical Text

Giuseppe Mazzini was an Italian propagandist and revolutionary. He founded the secret revolutionary society Young Italy. Mazzini joined the Carbonari, a revolutionary society, and was exiled in 1831. Mazzini went to Marseille, where he quickly became a leader to other Italian exiles. He advocated for the unification of Italy. Later he moved to London, where he founded a school for Italian boys in London and the newspaper Apostleship of the People. In 1849, Mazzini returned to Italy, where there was a revolution and the people voted him to be the triumvir of the new republic. However, this revolution was defeated, and Mazzini returned to London. There Mazzini founded the Friends of Italy and took part in many revolutionary activities.

Mazzini died in 1872.
