Abstract

Mazzini and Hungary: thoughts, actions and freedom (by Rossano Pancaldi, Italy) - Giuseppe Mazzini’s political thinking is still very modern. It comes from a political pedagogy founded on basic values such as freedom, democracy and civil coexistence which give birth to great passions. This is to be confirmed by Mazzini’s patriotic aspirations, revolutionary initiatives in favour of Hungarian people and his tights against any dispotism. So Mazzini can be paralleled to Hungarian revolutionaries, who fried to overthrow the Soviet dictatorship in 1956, hile trying to conquer their freedom, democracy and national independence. Mazzini was not in Budapest in that very 1956 but surely his political passion and civil ambition were!
