Pescara's Political Poet
"One must make one’s life as one makes a work of art,” declares Andrea Spinelli, the main character of Gabriele D’Annunzio’s Il Piacere (The Child of Pleasure). D’Annuzio himself lived by this motto. The son of a wealthy Pescara landowner, Gabriele D’Annunzio published his first collection of poems, Primo Vere (In Early Springs), in 1879, at age 16. A prolific writer and poet, Gabriele D’Annunzio was also skilled in self-promotion. Over the years, he created the so-called vivere inimitabile (inimitable living), a lavishly decadent lifestyle that turned him into a celebrity. He became known as Il Vate (the Bard) of Italian literature. After World War I, he also became actively involved in politics. His 1919 occupation of Fiume (present-day Rijeka) foreshadowed many aesthetic, political, and cultural components of Italian fascism.
Who was the founding father of "Young Italy"'?
Initially, this group was established as part of a nationalist movement working for Italian independence. It plotted several insurrections against established regimes in accordance with Republican ideals. Comprising patriots residing on and without the Italian peninsula, the association conducted the battle against Risorgimento up to the biennium of 1848-1849. In order to avoid serving a condemnation of his political actions, Mazzini resided in the French port area. On his leaving Italy, France was motivated to predict a similar result by the success of the July 1830 revolution in Italy. After the revolutionary attempts in Italy in the Austrian invasion, who led the creation of "Young Italy"?
A) Giuseppe Garibaldi? He was an Italian General, patriot, republican who helped to bring Italy together and establish the Kingdom of Italy but he was not the founder of the Young Italy movement.
B) Count Cavour? He was a key Italian statesman in the campaign of unification in Italy but he was not the founder of the Young Italy movement. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
C) Victor Emmanuel? - He was the first king of united Italy since the 6th century but he was not the founder of the Young Italy movement.
D) Giuseppe Mazzini? - He was an Italian politician, journalist, unification fighter for Italy and a leader in the revolutionary Italian movement and he was the founder of the Young Italy movement. “Young Italy”, the secret society of Italy was set up by Giuseppe Mazzini in 1831.
