La Giovine Italia


 

La Giovine Italia was a political movement founded in 1831 by Giuseppe Mazzini. The goal of this movement was to create a united Italian republic. A good number of the Italian leaders and their people began to fight against the Austrian imperial forces. In 1848, the Papal States were temporarily overthrown and a Roman Republic established. However, Mazzini was unable to reach his goal, as counterrevolutionary forces (mainly Pope Pius IX's) regained control in 1849, with the aid of France.
