About the author
Born in Lendinara in 1825, Alberto Mario became one of the many energetic voices of the Italian Risorgimento. He was known as a politician and journalist, and his life was shaped by exile, activism, and repeated involvement in the struggles for national independence.
He is especially remembered as a supporter of Giuseppe Garibaldi, combining political action with sharp, engaged writing. Rather than standing at a distance from events, he lived through them directly, turning journalism into a way of documenting and advancing the cause he believed in.
Mario was married to Jessie White Mario, an English writer and fellow supporter of Italian unification. He died in Lendinara in 1883, leaving behind the image of a committed nineteenth-century patriot whose work belonged as much to public debate as to politics itself.
