EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print depicts a pivotal moment in the Neapolitan Exiles' struggle for Italian unification during the Battle of Marignano, also known as Melegnano, in Italy, June 1859. The scene unfolds as Piedmontese and French forces valiantly repel the Swiss mercenaries, hired by Pope Pius IX, who had allied with the Neapolitan King Ferdinand II against the Italian nationalist movement. The Risorgimento, or Italian Renaissance, was a period of political upheaval and social change that aimed to establish a unified Italian state. This battle marked a significant turning point in the movement, as it demonstrated the growing strength and unity of the Italian nationalist forces against the foreign mercenaries and their monarchical supporters. The Swiss mercenaries, renowned for their disciplined fighting skills, were a formidable adversary. However, the combined forces of the Piedmontese and French, led by General Charles-Albert of Savoy and General Patrice de Mac-Mahon, managed to hold their ground and ultimately emerged victorious. The defeat of the Swiss mercenaries at Marignano paved the way for the eventual unification of Italy under the House of Savoy. This powerful and evocative print, from the extensive archives of Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the rich and complex history of the Italian Risorgimento. It is a poignant reminder of the courage and determination of the Italian nationalist forces in their quest for independence and unity, and the pivotal role that foreign intervention played in shaping the course of Italian history.
