The Risorgimento and the Stories of Italian Unification

Eyeglasses, newspapers, red shirts, swords and paintings, puzzles and photographs — in this tour, the remarkable collection of the Museo Centrale del Risorgimento becomes a living map of the ideals and key figures who fought for a united and independent Italy.

From Mazzini’s republican dream to Garibaldi’s campaigns, from the strategic alliances forged by Cavour and Victor Emmanuel II to the outbreak of the First World War, participants will retrace the pivotal moments that shaped the nation’s history — one artifact, one story at a time.

This activity will be conducted in Italian.
