Solution
Answer: Count Camillo di Cavour
Count Camillo de Cavour, the Chief Minister of the State of Sardinia-Piedmont, led the effort to unify the Italian regions. He was neither a democrat nor a revolutionary. He knew French much better than he did Italian, like many other affluent and educated members of the Italian elite.
- Cavour was the organizer of a liberal party and the Italian unification movement’s main member.
- He became the Prime Minister of Italy after the integration of Italy, but he died after just three months.
- He formed a careful diplomatic alliance with France, that, in 1859, enabled Sardinia-Piedmont to overcome the Austrian forces and thus liberate the Austrian Habsburgs from the northern part of Italy.
