__ **Cavour and Garibaldi during unification** __

"Another important character for the unification of Italy was Count Camillo Benso di Cavour. He was the author of the publication `Il Risorgimento´ in 1847, after Charles Albert freed the press from censorship, which was used to publicise his political ideas. In October 1850 he was appointed Minister of Agriculture, Commerce and the Navy which allowed him to practice his economic theories and make free-trade treaties with Britain, Belgium and France. He then also became Minster of finance in 1851 but already in 1852 he resigned from the government and went abroad to France, meeting with Louis Napoleon. Though meanwhile in his absence a political crisis broke out in Piedmont when new rules about civil marriage were passed out and the Church complained heavily. As the Prime minister resigned Cavour was chosen as his successor, he agreed on this and became the new prime minister in 1852, dropping the civil marriage bill. He remained in this position until his early death in 1861."

"Garibaldi was a soldier and leader of men which follwed his goals in a clear, and simple way. In 1931 he had been under the influence of Mazzini but then he decided to abandon his republican ideals and follow Victor Emmanuel II becoming a monarchist instead. He constantly changed his nationalist beliefs but still remained focused on the same aim; of wanting to unite Italy and send out the Austrians. Also he wanted Rome and Venetia and Naples and Sicily to be a part of the Unification. After having led an Italian legion of guerrilla fighters in Uruguay, he decided to go back home, when he heard rumours of a revolution in Italy. He immediately offered his military services to the King of Piedmont, which denied his offer. The reason for Garibaldi to act this way, was due to his changement from a republican to a royalist. He believed that the King of Piedmont was the only one with the necessary resources to defeat the Austrians and unite Italy. This change was the end of a good relationship between Mazzini and Garibaldi."
