About this listen

Embark on a journey through the life of Camillo Benso, Count of Cavour, a pivotal figure in the Italian unification movement. Born a nobleman in Turin, Cavour went on to establish the influential political newspaper Il Risorgimento. A fervent admirer of Britains constitutional monarchy, he built robust diplomatic ties with British statesmen, eventually ascending to the role of prime minister of Piedmont-Sardinia under King Victor Emmanuel II. Through his shrewd diplomacy, Cavour managed to secure the military assistance of Emperor Napoleon III of France to liberate the Italian states from Austrian oppression. Joining forces with the military strategist Giuseppe Garibaldi, albeit in an uneasy alliance, he masterminded the creation of the modern Italian state. - Summary by Pamela Nagami, M.D.
