Well, the map of Italy is looking more uniform now and easier to understand.

PL OK.

Best,

Barbara

Like Mazzini said,

"La carta d'Italia deve essere rifatta," or something to that effect.

Thanks!

PL OK.

A friend who has lived in Italy with an Italian husband, when I mentioned this book, thought of Cavour only as somebody who'd been opposed to Garibaldi! This chapter shows what a wise bird Cavour was with his distrust of even a temporary dictatorship.

Interesting that he saw that Prussia, "Germany", wanted to be a great naval power to rival Britain. I was reading recently of the vast resources that were diverted to that purpose and that, submarines excepted, the venture was ultimately a pointless one for a country whose coastline was primarily Baltic.

Best,

Barbara

Thanks, Barbara!

Yes, this book is full of surprises. Bismarck played a big role in Italian unity after Cavour’s death.

That whole naval arms race between Germany and Britain was totally pointless. What a sterile activity!

PL OK and what a satisfying eulogy and summary. What is your diagnosis of Cavour's illness?

Thank you for introducing me to this topic!
