The Italian Unification, also known as Risorgimento, was mainly lead by two important figureheads: Count Camillo di Cavour and Giuseppe Garibaldi. These two people made massive reforms in Italy, which created the Italy as we know today. However, these figureheads have different ways of thinking and unique styles of decision making, leading them to use completely different strategies while unifying Italy. The modern country of Italy was formed from numerous individual Italian States geographically linked, through a process called Risorgimento. It began when Napoleon’s reign started to end and the Congress of Vienna in 1815, and ended with the Franco-Prussian War in 1870-1871 (2).
Nationalism is a belief that nation states should be formed by people with a shared identity and culture. In Italy in 1815, there were few nationalists; however the amount of nationalists grew throughout the 19th century. Nationalism spread across Italy due to influential people like Gioberti, Mazzini and Balbo, other factors such as a new pope and Verdi also contributed to the spread of nationalist ideas. Young Italy was founded in 1831 by Giuseppe Mazzini, a nationalist who believed in the equality of humans. The organisation was accompanied by a journal called ‘Young Italy’.
It is based on previous ideas that have been passed down and adapted into new ones that pertain to the modern world. This is similar to how the Renaissance grew from the exploration of previous ideas from the Greeks and Romans. The word Renaissance itself even means “rebirth”. From classical ideas, Renaissance humanists began to shape themselves and society. One example is a Renaissance writer Leonardo Bruni who took the idea of civilians taking part in government to develop civic humanism.
Separatism contributed positively to Italian unification in some ways, for instance it led to a sense of pride in certain states which led to an increased feeling of resentment towards foreign powers that were occupying, or held power over some states in Italy at the time. This could be seen as one of the main reasons behind the revolts of 1848-49 in which revolts across Italy were started to expel the Austrians from Italy, this was particularly apparent in the revolution in Milan which started as rioting and boycotting of Austrian tobacco imports. Although these rebellions were crushed they were
When trade began between these countries both science and art spread and evolved. The Dark Ages had paralyzed creativity and new thinking in Europe including Italy, but the
Fascism in Italy & Germany Fascism was a very powerful yet motivating type of government that the people of Germany and Italy believed would bring dramatic change to their world. Unfortunately, many of them later realized that it could have helped them at the time however it took away all of their individual rights and freedom to focus solely on the bettering of their nation as one. The years following World War I took a drastic toll on the people of both Italy and Germany; there was an economic depression as well as political instability. Why did the people fall for such a horrid government you may ask? Desperate people fall for desperate situations.
Individualism of Modern and Renaissance Renaissance Period During the Renaissance period, the art itself has a distinct style, meaning "rebirth". It bring a different point of view to the world with a mysterious and beautiful way.

Renaissance art is the painting, sculpture and decorative arts of the European history. Renaissance art emerged in Italy during the late 13th and early 14th centuries. Renaissance art derived during the early 14th century in Italy to late 16th century in Europe. Renaissance art was most mature in Europe during the late 16th century. The term Renaissance means rebirth which is very fitting for this era because it represents a cultural rebirth of Classical art, new artists of Renaissance looked to earlier classical artist and incorporated more light and color into their work so that their work would look almost life like.
The northern and Italian renaissance experienced differences within the ideas and philosphies, patronage and motives, and artists and writers of its time. The Renaissance was characterized by self conscious awareness among 14th and 15th century Italians that were living in a new era. A poet and humanist Francesco Petrarch (1304-1374) believed he was living at the start of a new era. Medieval people believed that they were continuing the glories of ancient Rome and recongnized no cultural divisions. In the Renaissance, intellectuals developed a new sense of historical distance from earlier periods.
It can henceforth be defined as, for Mussolini, a collective force on which he could build future generations of fascists, along with it being an effective regime to allow for greater consolidation of his power and allowing him to rule relatively unthreatened in the following years. Some of the fundamental factors which can be used as a barometer of Mussolini’s success in creating a nation of fascists include the Catholic Church, youth movements, anti-Semitism and women in fascist Italy. They all played a significant role, whether aiding or hindering Mussolini’s efforts to achieve his fascist state. The Catholic Church, being a conditional factor, is perhaps the most significant one and the factor that requires most thought. Despite remaining atheist throughout his life, Mussolini made attempts to unify with the church after long-standing tensions, knowing fully well that the Pope remained a ubiquitous threat to his power.
