EDITORS COMMENTS
This Carte de Visite (CDV) photograph features the renowned Italian statesman, Camillo Benso, Conte di Cavour (1810-1861). Cavour is considered one of the most influential figures in Italian history, having played a pivotal role in the unification of Italy during the 19th century. Born on October 13, 1810, in Asti, Piedmont, Cavour began his political career as a liberal, advocating for constitutional reforms and the expansion of Piedmontese influence. He served as the Chief Minister of Sardinia-Piedmont from 1852 to 1859, during which time he skillfully maneuvered Italy's various states towards unification. Cavour's diplomatic prowess and strategic alliances, particularly with France and Austria, ultimately led to the establishment of the Kingdom of Italy in 1861. This CDV photograph, taken by the esteemed Italian photographer, Negretti, showcases Cavour's plump, jovial appearance, which contrasted with his shrewd and determined political character. The image offers a glimpse into the personal side of this historical figure, whose impact on Italian history is still felt to this day. Cavour's legacy continues to inspire generations, as he remains a symbol of resilience, innovation, and the power of unity in the face of adversity. The photograph itself is a testament to the advancements in 19th-century photography, with its crisp details and lifelike quality. The CDV format, which gained popularity during this time, allowed for the mass production and distribution of photographs, making it possible for people to connect with historical figures like Cavour on a more personal level. This photograph is an invaluable addition to any collection of Italian history or historical portraits.
