"We here highly undersigned declare that, had all conspired, scorning the slander of the crowd, strong in the justice of the case and the gallant spirit of our soul , we declare the initiators of the Italian revolution. If the country does not respond to our appeal, but not without cursing, we will die as a strong, following the noble phalanx of 'Italian martyrs. Find other nation in the world men who, like us, immolated to his freedom, and then only can be compared to Italy, although up to now still a slave. "
Carlo Pisacane and his companions joined in this statement before embarking on the steamer Cagliari. They had assembled a band capable, according to their plan to blow up the spark that would light new insurgencies, and that would give freedom to the Italian people. Unfortunately, their business was subdued at the outset following the arrest and killing the insurgents.
Pisacane The history of today is unknown even to many because of its unfortunate outcome. It is important, therefore, only the meaning historian who took over the company, but the feeling that animated quell'esiguo group of revolutionaries who dreamed of the freedom of a people both from the Piedmont from the Austrian domination. Pisacane, in fact, wrote in his will:
"I like that the constitutional government of Piedmont is more nocevole Italy, than the tyranny of Ferdinand II. I firmly believe that if the Piedmont had been governed in the same way that other Italian states, the revolution of Italy at this time would have done. "
Carlo Pisacane, who was born in August of 1818 in a fallen aristocrat, from his youth he cultivated an idealist and revolutionary spirit in spite of the military studies made in the military college of Nunziatella. It is always due to some passages of his will, published a few days after the failure of his business, which stands close to his socialist ideals and freedom. In fact, he wrote:
"My political principles are well known: I believe in socialism, but socialism different from the French systems, which are all more or less based on the idea of \u200b\u200bthe monarchy, or despotic that prevails in the nation, the future is inevitable and the next Italy, and possibly the whole of Europe. Socialism, of which I speak, can be summarized with two words: freedom and association.
I am convinced that the railroads, telegraph, electric cars, the best in the industry, albeit that, finally, that tends to develop and facilitate trade, it is intended, according to a fatal law, to render the poor masses, until it operates the distribution of profits by means of competition. All these resources increase the products, but they will accumulate in few hands, so the whole claimed that progress can not be reduced to decadence. "
In 1857 Carlo Pisacane died along with many of his companions, and at the end of that year Louis Mercantini dedicated to their company The poetry gleaner Sapri, so remember that that group of brave freemen:
"They were three hundred, and would not run away and took three thousand seemed to die: But they wanted to die by the sword in his hand, and before They ran blood to the plan. Until I saw fought, prayed for them, but suddenly I was less or I looked ... I could not see more than half of them among those blue eyes and that hair of gold!
were three hundred: they were young and strong: And I'm dead! "
