Risorgimento

19th-century movement for Italian national unity and independence, begun 1815. Leading figures in the movement included Cavour, Mazzini, and Garibaldi. Uprisings 1848–49 failed, but with help from France in a war against Austria – to oust it from Italian provinces in the north – an Italian kingdom was founded in 1861. Unification was finally completed with the addition of Venetia in 1866 and the Papal States in 1870.

In large part, that's what makes the opera so powerful - both to Verdi's 19th-century contemporaries, who made him a hero of Italian unification, and to modern audiences, who swoon at his shamelessly beautiful melodies and fall in love with his strong characters.
