Inspired by Risorgamento and Italian mythology
Foreign Historians - only at right place at right time to become figurehead of Nationalists
However:
- Appointed Cavour
- Keener than Cav. for joining Crimea
- Refused Cav's demands for carrying on Aust. war after Villafranca
- Gave G. encouragement in 1860 and 1862 against Cav (1861) and parliament's (1862) wishes
- Used rhetoric to create nationalist feelings in Italy - 'could no longer stop his ears to the cries of Italy'
