The founding of La Giovine Italia (Young Italy)
 |
Little Italy was a political movement founded in Marseille in July 1831 by Mazzini.
The purpose of the movement was to create a united Italian Republic through the promotion of a general insurrection in the Italian states and lands occupied by the Austrian Empire.
In 1833 some of the members plotted to revolt in Savoy and Piedmont; but they were arrested and executed. Again in Feburary 1834, they tried to take Savory and Piedmont, but failed. The movement dissappeared for a while, but then returned in 1838 in England followed by other European nations.
The original la Giovine Italia had then became part of a the movement, Giovine Europa (1835).
But in 1853, Mazzini's movement had finally failed after a revolt again Austria in Milan.
