Summary "Il 1859 da Plombières a Villafranca" by Alfredo Panzini is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work explores pivotal moments in Italian history, focusing especially on the events surrounding the unification of Italy and the impact of the 1859 wars. Through detailed narratives, the author sheds light on the complexities of national identity, the political climate, and the key figures driving the unification efforts, thus inviting readers to reconsider the fateful events of that period. At the start of the book, Panzini sets the historical context by discussing the tumultuous political landscape of Europe during the 18th century, characterized by wars of succession and the interplay of various monarchies vying for power. The author elaborates on the impact of these conflicts on Italy, emphasizing how the territorial disputes led to foreign occupations that stifled the Italian national spirit. As he delves into the specific events leading up to 1859, including the roles played by notable leaders like Cavour and Garibaldi, Panzini entices readers with the promise of uncovering the deep-seated aspirations of the Italian populace and the fervent desire for unity that eventually culminated in significant political change.
