  1. 8.3 – Unifying Italy and Germany

  2. “The question of nationality can only be resolved by destroying the treaties of 1815, and changing the map of Europe and its public Law. The question of Nationalities, rightly understood, is the Alliance of the Peoples; the balance of powers based upon new foundations; the organisation of the work that Europe has to accomplish.” Giuseppe Mazzini

  3. “I offer neither pay nor provisions; I offer hunger, thirst, forced marches, battle and death. Let him who loves his country in his heart and not with his lips only; follow me.” Giuseppe Garibaldi

  4. “Here, where our people, after centuries of separation, find themselves for the first time solemnly reunited in the person of their representatives: here where we recognize the fatherland of our dreams, everything speaks to us of greatness; but at the same time it all reminds us of our duties.” King Victor Emmanuel

  5. “Therefore the Holy Father will never be able to recognize the title of King of Italy, arrogated to himself by the king of Sardinia, since it is opposed to justice and to the sacred property of the Church. On the contrary, he makes the most ample and formal protest against such an usurpation.” Pope Pius IX
