In 1852, Mazzini published some of his work that focused on nationalism and the need for a unified democratic state of Italy. Mazzini mentioned in his writing that the people from the revolution in Vienna were fighting for something more than just material possessions; they were fighting for their nation.<a href=\"#_edn1\" name=\"_ednref1\">[i]<\/a> The revolution in Vienna was in context with Mazzini trying to propose a unified state. He was looking to unify the people of Italy to rid their beloved nation of those who occupied it, the Austrians, and create a democratic state for Italy to be run. By ridding the state of Italy of the Austrians, Italy could be free to run themselves and prosper on their own.<\/p>\n<p>In the documents of Italian unification, the Program of Count Cavour 1846 provides a point towards Mazzini\u2019s thinking that opposes it even though it was before him.
