Abstract
Between the mid-1830s and the mid-1840s, hundreds of Young Italy’s agents left Italy’s coasts to support the struggle against the Ancien Régime from abroad.

These revolutionaries – as human transfers of the cause for unification – led the birth of a republican international of patriots. American exile encouraged a collective experience of politicization for the Mazzinian generation, turning the Atlantic into a diaspora laboratory of the RisorgimentoFile in questo prodotto:
