Tossup
This man wrote that “the angels of Martyrdom and Victory are brothers” in a eulogy to two brothers who staged a failed 1844 naval mutiny. This man, whom Karl Marx called “that everlasting old ass,” is called the “last high priest of… political idealism” in a Mikhail Bakunin essay that decries this man’s denouncement of the Paris Commune. This man sealed letters with poppy seeds to prove that the British Home Secretary was spying on him. This man’s tract The Duties of Man fleshes out ideas that he conceived in a letter imploring Charles Albert to break ties with Austria. After Pope Pius IX fled to Gaeta (“guh-AY-tuh”), this man ended his exile in London and formed a triumvirate with Carlo Armellini and Aurelio Saffi to govern the short-lived 1849 Roman Republic. For 10 points, name this activist who founded “Young Italy.” ■END■
