In 1859, in the midst of the Risorgimento process, Giuseppe Mazzini (1805-1872) once again reiterated that the capital of the future Kingdom of Italy must undoubtedly be Rome. In so doing, he evoked an image of a place in the centre of the Eternal City that was so high up as to dominate both the pagan Capitoline Hill and the capital of Christendom, St. Peter’s at the Vatican.
