Young Italy
After a few months of leaving Italy, in June 1831, Mazzini wrote a letter to King Charles Albert of Sardinia, in which he asked him to unite Italy and to lead the nation. A month later, convinced that the king did not read his demands, he founded the movement in Marseille. It would then spread out to other nations across Europe.

Every member of the brotherhood had to recite an Oath, where they would pledge to make Italy a united, free, independent, republican nation, where every man would be considered equal.

The movement garnered about 60,000 members around 1833.

The slogan that defined the movement's aim was:  Union, Strength, and Liberty . The phrase could be found in the tricolor Italian flag, which represented the country's unity.

He joined the movement around 1833, after meeting Mazzini through social and political reforms back in Geneva. Additionally, he was part of a failed revolt led by Mazzini in Piedmont. As a consequence, he was sentenced to death. After learning his fate, he fled to Marseilles. In Austria, having links with the movement was seen as treason. The crime was punishable by death.
