who founded the young italy movement

The Young Italy movement was founded in 1831 by Giuseppe Mazzini. Mazzini, an Italian nationalist and revolutionary, established the movement while in exile in Marseille, France, with the goal of creating a united Italian republic through popular uprising and insurrection against the reactionary states and Austrian rule in Italy. The movement aimed to unite Italy as a free, independent, and republican nation, rallying primarily young middle-class men to the cause. Mazzini's vision and leadership made Young Italy a key force in the Italian unification movement known as the Risorgimento
