Speech

Good evening people of southern Italy. First of all i would like you to meet a good friend of mine, Giuseppe Mazzini. We have been alies and long time nationalists for some time. We would like to unify the people of the Italian states to take action so we may create a Italian republic. Another gentlemen, Mr.Cavour, first name Camillo is going to provide aide, should we need it, to help us in our cause. We thank him very much and accept his gracious offer. Now I ask you the people for help as we need many volunteers to fight to unify the Italian states. Mr. Cavour has promised to provide us with weapons and a couple of large ships to take the volunteers and myself and take us down south, to Sicily. There we will fight to take control of our future. Again I thank you for your dedication and devotion and together we will be triumphant. We will then travel to the mainland and travel north to naples celibrating victory. There we hope to join up with Sardinians who have just conquered the Papal States and there I plan to turn over the newly unified states of Naples and Sicily to Mr.Victor Emmanuel who hopefully will be crowned king of Italy shortly there after. We will also fight together to include Rome and Venetia to complete our goal of unifying the country of Italy. I am confident that the nationalists here will be victorious as we share the same goal. Thank you.
