When and whom formed young Itlaly?

Young Italy was founded in 1831 by Giuseppe Mazzini. Mazzini was an Italian politician, journalist and activist who lead the Italian revolutionary movement. He aimed for the unification of Italy and it was this reason which caused him to form Young Italy which was a political movement for Italian Youth (under the age of 40) in 1831. It was a secret society and the slogan that defined the movement's aim was: ''Union, Strength, and Liberty''. The most famous member of Young Italy was Giuseppe Garibaldi (1807-1882). After meeting Mazzini through social and political reforms back in Geneva he joined the movement around 1833. Garibaldi was sentenced to death after a failed revolt led by Mazzini in Piedmont. But Mazzini failed in his endeavor when a revolt against Austria was unsuccessful. His movement lost its importance in 1853 when the Piedmontese monarchy was favored over a democratic Italy. Italy finally achieved national unification in 1860 under the leadership of Count Cavour.
