“Nicola Fabrizi (4 April 1804 – 31 March 1885) was an Italian politician. He was one of the most militant and dedicated leaders of the Risorgimento, the movement aimed at the unification of Italy. Nicola Fabrizi was born on 4 April 1804 in Modena. He took part in the Modena insurrection of 1831, and attempted to succour Ancona, but was arrested. After his release he went to Marseille where he joined the Young Italy movement. Afterwards he organized, with Giuseppe Mazzini, the ill-fated Savoy expedition. Taking refuge in Spain, he fought against the Carlists, and was decorated for valour on the battlefield (18 July 1837).” (Nicola Fabrizi, Wikipedia)
