| Summary |
"Storia degli Italiani, vol. 14 (di 15)" by Cesare Cantù is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume focuses on the socio-political context of Italy between 1830 and 1846, detailing the aspirations and intrigues of various Italian states and their rulers during a time of significant change and turmoil. The narrative explores the evolution of governance in places like Tuscany and Naples, and the attempts at liberal reforms amidst the backdrop of revolutionary pressures in Europe. The opening of this volume sets the stage with a reflection on the harmony established in Tuscany following the revolutions of 1831, primarily under the rule of Grand Duke Ferdinando III. Through a detailed examination of his administration, Cantù notes the merits of Ferdinando's gradual reforms and his efforts to integrate modernity into the governance of Tuscany. However, the narrative also highlights the ongoing political tensions, the influence of the Austrians, and the diverse public sentiments manifesting throughout Italy. The author introduces a variety of historical figures and addresses the political landscape's complexities, laying a foundation for the events that would eventually lead to Italy's unification.
