The Risorgimento and the Stories of Italian Unification

Eyeglasses, newspapers, red shirts, swords and paintings, rebuses and photographs: on this tour, the extraordinary collection of the Central Museum of the Risorgimento becomes a map illustrating the ideals and figures that shaped the struggle to create a united and independent Italy.

Visitors will retrace this history, from Mazzini’s republican dream to Garibaldi’s campaigns, from the strategic alliances of the Kingdom of Sardinia – orchestrated by Cavour and Victor Emmanuel II – to the conclusion of the First World War.

WHERE: Central Museum of the Risorgimento, entrance to the Vittoriano, Ara Coeli side
