Freemason?

While Mazzini was listed in the book 10,000 Famous Freemasons and is sometimes referred to as a former Grand Master of the Grand Orient of Italy, their own website questions whether he was ever a Mason at all. http://www.grandeoriente.it/studi/storia-della-massoneria-in-italia/linfluenza-di-mazzini-nella-massoneria-italiana.aspx ChuckEye (talk) 16:41, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It questions his Masonic membership, it does not seem to deny it - and if my poor Italian is to be trusted it seems to say that Brdlaugh and Combes thought that Mazzini was a Freemason. However it is hard to see why they wouldn't know who their Grand Master was. JASpencer (talk) 17:06, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. I've also had a read through the source quoted by ChuckEye (talk), and it is far from conclusive. It merely illustrates that there are two bodies of opinion. Timothy Titus Talk To TT 17:51, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I guess my take was, if someone is compiling a list of 10,000 Masons, including some from countries other than their own, it's quite possible they made a mistake. Whereas if the Grand Lodge doesn't list him, it's more likely that the author of 10,000 Famous Freemasons was mistaken. ChuckEye (talk) 18:44, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think I would make that assumption even in a masonically stable nation, let alone Italy, where there have been (historically), and still are (today), so many competing Grand Lodges and Grand Orients that historical facts are often misconstrued or misrepresented. Timothy Titus Talk To TT 19:55, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Good point. The Grand Orient of Italy also had their records largely destroyed. They are a continuation of the pre-Mussolini Grand Orient but they're not an unbroken continuation. JASpencer (talk) 21:51, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Mazzini was a good politician who had a solid clear view of italy and the way he wanted it to be, its hard to find clear information though so some help would be appriated

Giovine vs Giovane

Please don't change giovine in giovane: it's an archaic form which was used at that time. Matteo 10:10, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]


'His efforts helped bring about the modern Italian state'

I don't have time to have a go at this right now, but I think this is pretty inaccurate and somewhat opinionated. If one looks at the actual process of the Risorgimento, Mazzini's influence and patriotic ideals have a very, very small part in it, compared to Piedemontese hegemony, and public desires for constitutionalism or opposition to Habsburg rule. D'Azeglio's quote, "We have made Italy, now we have to make Italians" bears witness to the extent to which Mazzinian patriotism had a very limited reach in the formation of modern Italy. His primary contribution, in my opinion at least, is as a mythological figurehead resurrected after the Risorgimento had already taken place to aid a formation of a national conciousness. Capt.

member of roman triumvirate?!

this is blatantly false...i don't know what he was a member of, if anything, but i know he wasnt a member of the triumvirate, having lived in the 19th century —Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.226.107.216 (talk) 16:10, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually...
He was a member of the brief triumvirate that governed the 'Roman Republic': the Papal States that were left unoccupied when the Pope fled to Gaeta.

Mazzini's Letter to the Romans

The following letter was written by Giuseppe Mazzini after the fall of the Roman Republic in July 1849. Mazzini, who is considered by many to be the greatest European political thinker of the 19th century, had been the Chief Minister of the Republic. The complete letter is in pp. 89-90 of the book by Giuseppe Lipparini, Le Pagine della Letteratura Italiana, Vol. XVII (Gli Scrittori dell'Ottocento: i Politici e i Pensatori), Carlo Signorelli Editore, Milano (1926).

The beginning of the letter states: "Brutal force has suppressed your city; but it has not altered or diminished your rights. The Roman Republic lives eternal, inviolable in the suffrage of the free people who proclaimed it, in the spontaneous adherence of all the components of the State, in the faith of the people who have admired our long defense, in the blood of the martyrs who fell for her under our walls."

5 luglio 1849

Romani!

La forza brutale ha sottomesso la vostra città; ma non mutato o scemato i vostri diritti. La repubblica romana vive eterna, inviolabile nel suffragio dei liberi che la proclamarono, nella adesione spontanea di tutti gli elementi dello Stato, nella fede dei popoli che hanno ammirato la lunga nostra difesa, nel sangue dei martiri che caddero sotto le nostre mura per essa. Tradiscano a posta loro gl'invasori le loro solenne promesse. Dio non tradisce le sue. Durate costanti e fedeli al voto dell'anima vostra, nella prova alla quale Ei vuoleche per poco voi soggiacciate; e non diffidate dell'avvenire. Brevi sono i sogni della violenza, e infallibile il trionfo d'un popolo che spera, combatte e soffre per la Giustizia e per la santissima Libertà.

Voi deste luminosa testimonianza di coraggio militare; sappiate darla di coraggio civile [...]

Dai municipii esca ripetuta con fermezza tranquilla d'accento la dichiarazione ch'essi aderiscono volontari alla forma repubblicana e all'abolizione del governo temporale del Papa; e che riterranno illegale qualunque governo s'impianti senza l'approvazione liberamente data dal popolo; poi occorrendo si sciolgano. [...] Per le vie, nei teatri, in ogni luogo di convegno, sorga un grido: Fuori il governo dei preti! Libero Voto! [...]

I vostri padri, o Romani, furon grandi non tanto perchè sapevano vincere, quanto perche' non disperavano nei rovesci. In nome di Dio e del popolo siate grande come i vostri padri. Oggi come allora, e più che allora, avete un mondo, il mondo italiano in custodia.

La vostra Assemblea non é spenta, é dispersa. I vostri Triumviri, sospesa per forza di cose la loro pubblica azione, vegliano a scegliere a norma della vostra condotta, il momento opportuno per riconvocarla.Italus (talk) 21:20, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Karl Marx

The "Criticism" and "Ideology" sections repeat the same things about Karl Marx opinion of Mazzini and vice versa. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.171.129.165 (talk) 08:10, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
