#Camillo Benso

" Non ho mai visto in mano a un contadino un libro popolare sull'unità italiana: ho visto spesso, insieme ai Reali di Francia, la rapsodia dell'abate Cesare e la bellissima istoria di Angiolillo, e tuttavia il dramma di Peppe Mastrilli appassiona ed esalta le menti. Ancora adesso, nelle lunghe sere d'inverno, nelle notti vegliate, nelle soste del lavoro, trasformate e ingigantite dalla leggenda si ripetono con compiacenza le storie dei briganti. È tutto questo un male? lo non vorrei dire e non saprei. Le cause che hanno prodotto per tanti secoli il brigantaggio non sono ancora del tutto rimosse e il male è che esistano, non che esistendo operino e, scomparso il brigantaggio, producano effetti di altra natura, ma sempre egualmente dolorosi. "

la routine su Tumblr è sempre la stessa.

STEP 1: apre blog X di una fregna clamorosa che, da un momento all’altro e molto probabilmente senza conoscere il social prima di allora, comincia a postare foto sue con l’ano aperto;

STEP 2: subentrano successivamente tutte le domande in anonimo di gente allupata, loro cominciano anche a rispondere alle stesse con frasi del tipo “Sì mi piace molto duro/l’ho fatto a 6/vivo di orge 🥹”;

STEP 3: lamentela generica sui ragazzi che escono cazzi in chat che per quanto cringe e sbagliato sia, non ti arriva mica Camillo Benso, Conte di Cavour su un blog del genere;

STEP 4: frasi NON poetiche e di senso non compiuto, ma buttate a caso perché tanto tutto quello che dici sarà sempre giusto col culo aperto che ti ritrovi;

STEP 5 (il mio preferito): il blog SPARISCE.

Castello Cavour

La figura del conte Camillo Benso di Cavour è legata non solo a Grinzane Cavour (Cuneo) dove ricoprì l'incarico di sindaco per circa vent'anni ma anche al comune di Santena (Torino).

Qui si trova infatti il Castello Cavour, un vero e proprio museo che racconta la vita della famiglia e dello statista attraverso oggetti ed arredi. Di fianco all'edificio è situata la cripta di famiglia dove riposano anche le spoglie del conte.

The Kiss

Artist: Francesco Hayez (Italian, 1791-1882)

Date: 1859

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Collection: Pinacoteca di Brera, Milan

The Kiss | Francesco Hayez

After the defeat of Napoleonic France in the 19th century, the Congress of Vienna was held in 1815 to redraw the map of Europe. Italy had a very marginal role compared to other European countries and was slated to be divided into several states. Every state was ruled directly or strongly influenced by the Habsburgs of the Austrian Empire. That fragmentation went against the growing nationalist sentiment for Italian unification and caused the creation of secret societies with democratic and radical orientations, such as the Carboneria and Young Italy. Although those associations were unsuccessful, their role was fundamental in shaping public opinion.

The first war of Italian independence (1848) was a failure, but, by 1859, a secret agreement between Napoleon III and Camillo Benso, Count of Cavour, stipulated the formation of an anti-Austrian alliance. The contribution of France was considered crucial because the Austrian armies were defeated by the alliance in the Kingdom of Lombardy–Venetia in the empire. That victory initiated the unification process, and the Kingdom of Italy was proclaimed a few years later, in 1861.

It was during that period that Francesco Hayez painted The Kiss. Mindful of the bloody repression of the nationalist movement, Hayez decided to disguise the ideals of conspiracy and the struggle against the invaders by a representation of past events. The use of ambiguous, opaque metaphors allowed the artist to avoid censorship by the authorities.

3 random Italian history facts?

!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!

During the 1850's, Prime Minister Camillo Benso, Count of Cavour was soliciting political support from French Emperor Napoleon III (the more famous Napoleon's nephew) for the cause of unification for Italy. One provision to France was for Sardinia-Piedmont to trade away some territory in exchange for French support in a war against Austria; but a second more spicy part of the meeting was the Count of Cavour introducing Napoleon to his cousin, Virginia Oldoini, with intentions for Napoleon to have an affair with her and use that influence as his mistress to further press the Emperor to support Italian Unification. It worked, and France under Napoleon supported Sardinia-Piedmont's efforts to unite Italy.

Italian warfare during the Renaissance era was much more transactional than traditional warfare if that makes sense, and became much less bloody as a result of it! Instead of the small Italian states having standing armies of professional soldiers, they would instead use their treasuries to hire mercenary groups to fight on contract for the state, giving rise to the Condottieri, or contractors. With most armies in Italy being up for hire, most wars turned into a bidding war for who could bribe the other's armies into switching sides first, often ending wars before they were ever fought. Condottieri also avoided actual fighting whenever possible, because casualties and compensation payouts were bad for business.

Giuseppe Garibaldi is one of the most famous men in Italian history for being a freedom fighter all across the world, fighting in Brazil, Uruguay, France, and Italy. What's lesser known is that his sons and grandsons continued on the tradition of supporting the underdog. His son Ricciotti both fought alongside his father and fought for Greece in a war against the Ottomans to free the Island of Crete. and Ricciotti's son Peppino also earned a reputation as a freedom fighter, fighting in the Mexican Revolution alongside Pancho Villa, for the French and Italians in World War I, and against Mussolini's Italy in World War 2, getting captured and imprisoned by the Fascists for his resistance against them.

'The Kiss' (1859)

☆ Historical context:

After the defeat of Napoleonic France in the 19th century, the Congress of Vienna was held in 1815 to redraw the map of Europe. Italy had a very marginal role compared to other European countries and was slated to be divided into several states. Every state was ruled directly or strongly influenced by the Habsburgs of the Austrian Empire. That fragmentation went against the growing nationalist sentiment for Italian unification and caused the creation of secret societies with democratic and radical orientations, such as the Carboneria and Young Italy. Although those associations were unsuccessful, their role was fundamental in shaping public opinion.

The first war of Italian independence (1848) was a failure, but, by 1859, a secret agreement between Napoleon III and Camillo Benso, Count of Cavour, stipulated the formation of an anti-Austrian alliance. The contribution of France was considered crucial because the Austrian armies were defeated by the alliance in the Kingdom of Lombardy–Venetia in the empire. That victory initiated the unification process, and the Kingdom of Italy was proclaimed a few years later, in 1861.

It was during that period that Francesco Hayez painted The Kiss. Mindful of the bloody repression of the nationalist movement, Hayez decided to disguise the ideals of conspiracy and the struggle against the invaders by a representation of past events. The use of ambiguous, opaque metaphors allowed the artist to avoid censorship by the authorities.

♧ To be precise, there are three versions of this picture. In the first and official one, made in 1859, the woman wears the blue dress, while the young man's suit is characterized by green and red; the colors of the Italian and French flag, united by an alliance. In the second, made in 1861, the woman's dress is white and that of the young man remains red and green, the three colors of the Italian flag. In the third and last version of 1867, the colors of the young man's dress remain the same, while the woman's dress is again blue but, next to their feet, there is a white veil on the ground.

Camillo Benso conte di Cavour..!!!

Castello Grinzane Cavour

Costruito intorno alla metà dell’XI secolo in cima a una collina, il Castello di Grinzane Cavour domina, con la sua bellezza e l’architettura inconfondibile, lo stupendo panorama delle colline di Langa, oggi patrimonio dell’umanità tutelato dall’UNESCO con i Paesaggi vitivinicoli di Langhe-Roero e Monferrato.

Nei secoli, il Castello è appartenuto a varie famiglie nobili piemontesi, tra le quali i Conti Benso di Cavour, il cui più noto esponente è stato Camillo Benso, celebre eroe del Risorgimento, che soggiornò al Castello e fu sindaco del piccolo borgo di Grinzane.

Come un vero scrigno, il Castello si aprirà per offrire al visitatore i tesori che custodisce, alla scoperta del Museo delle Langhe, delle affascinanti Sale storiche, dei preziosi Cimeli Cavouriani e dell’Enoteca Regionale Piemontese Cavour.

Un viaggio nel passato alla scoperta di percorsi etnografici e cimeli storici, per conoscere le tradizioni e la cultura di queste colline uniche al Mondo.

Le 4 stagioni della vite e il lavoro del vignaiolo, in un affascinante museo all’aperto.

“IN VIGNA” è il museo a cielo aperto dedicato alla vite e al continuo lavoro che un vigneto richiede, in funzione dell’alternarsi delle stagioni: un’eccezionale testimonianza della tradizione storica della coltivazione della vite, dei processi di vinificazione e del contesto rurale in cui affonda le sue radici il territorio di Langhe, Roero e Monferrato.

"Le nostre teorie sullo Stato non comportano la tirannia d'una capitale sulle province, né la creazione d'una casta burocratica che soggioghi tutte le membra e le frazioni del Regno all'impero d'un centro artificiale contro cui lotterebbero sempre le tradizioni e le abitudini dell'Italia, non meno che la sua conformazione geografica". Camillo Benso conte di Cavour, 15 gennaio 1861 poco prima che, il primo marzo, il Parlamento proclamasse il Regno d'Italia da lui unito.

Purtroppo Cavour morì di lì a poco, il 6 giugno e tutto questo rimase tristemente sulla carta. Il Regno si francesizzò iper centralizzandosi, per poi cadere nell'ultra centralismo fascista e riemergere nel più soffocante e gretto centralismo burosauro cattosocialista.

Promemoria per gli anti minimo sindacale delle autonomie differenziate - dopo 162 anni ! Qua l'è ancora un falso accapigliarsi alternato tra statalisti, destri o sinistri miopi ignoranti uguali sono.

Guarda caso coincidenti con l'altro bersaglio delle intuizioni di Cavour: la kasta dei burosauri centralisti. Due facce della stessa medaglia.
