Giuseppe Mazzini was an Italian patriot. An exile for most of his life, he fought to free Italy from foreign domination and led the movement for national unification. Mazzini sought to establish a democratic, republican government in Italy, which could provide a model for other nations. Such was the brief experiment of the Roman Republic (1849), which he led. Mazzini had a quasi‐religious faith in the role of the “nation,” able to “associate” its “people” within a civil community. The association of all democratically governed nations would ensure harmony within “humanity.” In 1861, the unification of Italy under a constitutional monarch, rather than under republican institutions, only partly realized Mazzini's vision for the new nation.
