Talk:Camillo Benso, Count of Cavour

who was camillo di cavour?

I'm Giulia from Italy. I take away the sentence the architect of Italian Constitution because Cavour played no role in the redaction and promulgation of Statuto Albertino (constitution of Piemonte which became the supreme law of the whole Italy after the unification).... nor of course in the redaction of the Constitution of Italian Republic, promulgated after the II world war!

I second this. Cavour was not the architect of Italian Constitution. Following the 1848 revolutions in the country, the statuto was the only form of a constitution that remained in place. Cavour did not orchestrate the statuto, but heavily exploited it for his own political aims. Cavour's efforts to extend Piedmontese influence made Unity possible. Barten calls him "the prime architect of Italian Unification".
