Although using evidence Mazzini did try to act, however these several further attempted coups in which Mazzini was involved in failed for example the rising in savoy and the attempted coup in Piedmont in which he was condemned to death
From this moment on, Mazzini was more of a spectator than a protagonist of the Italian Risorgimento, whose reins were now strongly in the hands of the Savoyard monarch Victor Emmanuel II and his skilled prime minister, Cavour. This further supports his dreamer status, as he failed in his uprising attempts and was condemned to death as a result. It is not possible for someone to be a central part of something when there actions become remote.
Mazzini was also considered an intellect whose writing were often censored and couldn’t be freely viewed and they were only seen by a number of people, his views were very difficult to grasp and extremely complex which caused even more of a gulf between Mazzini and the people he tried to inspire.
Although Mazzini was a nationalist with a dream of unified italy he often argued with Garibaldi and was regarded as an enemy by both Metternich and Cavour. This was bizarre as Cavour wanted unification like Mazzini.
Opinions similar to Perry Rogers suggest that the revolutionary movements needed the dreamers providing they devoted themselves to the cause as mazzini did. Mazzini proved he was extremely able at spreading basic ideas which contradicts the claim that his ideas were hard to grasp but this does agree that he was a good propagandist.
Although his failed coups helped to keep the fight for unification on the political agendagrasp but this does agree that he was a good propagandist.
Although his failed coups helped to keep the fight for unification on the political agenda his mazzinians also involved in destabilising sicily before Garibaldi’s arrival.
Young Italy is what gave Mazzini his status as a key figure in the Unification progress. It improved on the secret societies and it attracted many men as members, and contributed to ferment the ideas that marked the Risorgimento. This dilutes the dreamer status as managed his youn italy to work toward a common ground this was a theory that he had took to practice successfully.
Although his leadership in 1849 of the roman republic was very brief and could not withstand the french millitary force, it inspired many and showed that liberal Italians could govern effectively.
In conclusion there are many theories and plans that mazzini failed to operate successfully but his founding of the Young italy in my opinion destroys the status of he being a ‘Dreamer’ on the other hand I do agree with the propagandist, he was able to spread his word even due to the complexties of his work he was able to be an active member even from a back seat which in my opinion makes him a good propagandist.
