This article examines Giuseppe Mazzini's contribution to republicanism envisaged as an ideology and a political program whose aim was the formation of a political party capable of competing in the electoral process of a representative and constitutional government. The central theme is the role of republican ideology before and after Unification. Through an analysis of Mazzini's three great polemical ruptures with liberalism (over the idea of liberty) with class-based socialism (over the idea of solidarity) and with democratic ideology (over the idea of legitimacy), the article seeks to highlight the key components of the ideological identity that Mazzini sought to give first to the republican movement and then to the republican party
