The Controversial Monument to Giuseppe Mazzini

The monument dedicated to Giuseppe Mazzini in Rome, sculpted by Ettore Ferrari, had a long political and executive genesis that stretched from the end of the 19th century until its inauguration in 1949. Notably, Labriola’s influence was decisive for the political symbolism that populates the monument’s base, which was 'censored' after World War II to be less displeasing to the Holy See. The monument includes figures like Carlo Pisacane, Goffredo Mameli, Federico Campanella, Aurelio Saffi, Maurizio Quadrio, Alberto Mario, and his wife Jessie White, Rosolino Pilo, and Adriano Lemmi.
