Quotes

“Inexorable as to principles, tolerant and impartial as to persons.”
“The epoch of individuality is concluded, and it is the duty of reformers to initiate the epoch of association. Collective man is omnipotent upon the earth he treads.”
“Art does not imitate, but interpret. It searches out the idea lying dormant in the symbol, in order to present the symbol to men in such form as to enable them to penetrate through it to the idea. Were it otherwise, what would be the use or value of art?”
“Nature is for art the garb of the Eternal. The real is the finite expression and representation of the true ; forms are the limits affixed by time and space to the power of life. Nature, reality, and form, should, all of them, be so rendered and expressed by art, as to reveal to mankind some ray of the truth — a vaster and profounder sentiment of life.”
“Art is not the fancy or caprice of an individual. It is the mighty voice of God and the universe, as heard by the chosen spirit, and repeated in tones of harmony to mankind. Should that omnipotent voice strike too directly upon the mortal ear, it would stun and suspend all human action, even as Pantheism crushed the ancient Oriental world.”
“Art is no isolated, unconnected, or inexplicable phenomenon. It draws its life from the life of the universe, and with the universe it ascends from epoch to epoch towards the Almighty. It owes its power over the souls of men to that collective life — even as the trees and plants draw their life from earth, the common mother; and its power would be destroyed should it attempt to forsake its source.”

Encyclopedic overview

Giuseppe Mazzini ( UK: /mætˈsiːni/, US: /mɑːtˈ-, mɑːdˈziːni/; Italian: [dʒuˈzɛppe matˈtsiːni]; 22 June 1805 – 10 March 1872) was an Italian politician, lawyer, journalist, philosopher, and political activist who worked for the unification of Italy (Risorgimento) and was a major leader of the Italian revolutionary movement. His efforts helped bring about the independent and unified Italy in place of the several separate states, many dominated by foreign powers, that existed until the 19th century. An Italian nationalist in the historical radical tradition and a proponent of a republicanism of social-democratic inspiration, Mazzini "helped define the European movement for popular democracy in a republican state." He is widely known as the “Prophet of Italian Nationalism”.

Mazzini's thoughts influenced the Italian and European republican movements, the Constitution of Italy, and Europeanism, as well as later political leaders including Benito Mussolini, who was later the Fascist leader of Italy, former U.S. President Woodrow Wilson, former U.K. Prime Minister David Lloyd George, Indian independence movement figures such as Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, and Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, the founder of Hindutva. His ideas also influenced Sun Yat-sen, former President of the Provisional Government of the Republic of China (1912–1913), and founder of the Three Principles of the People (also known as Tridemism). In addition, Giuseppe Garibaldi, one of his most devoted followers, was deeply inspired by Mazzini’s revolutionary vision and later played a decisive role in the Risorgimento through military campaigns.
