Mazzini's activity in revolutionary movements caused him to be imprisoned soon after he joined. While in prison, he concluded that Italy could&nbsp;− and therefore should&nbsp;− be unified, and he formulated a program for establishing a free, independent, and republican nation with [[Rome]] as its capital. Following his release in 1831, he went to [[Marseille]] in France, where he organized a new political society called [[Young Italy|''La Giovine Italia'' (Young Italy)]], whose mottos were "''Dio e Popolo''" ('God and People') and "''Unione, Forza e Libertà''" ('Union, Strength and Freedom"),<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.marcopolovr.gov.it/risorgimento/temi/simboli/tricolore.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170223213024/http://www.marcopolovr.gov.it/risorgimento/temi/simboli/tricolore.htm|title=Il tricolore|access-date=13 December 2022|archive-date=23 February 2017|url-status=dead|language=it}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.partecipiamo.it/cultura/mazzini/giuseppe.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160613005251/https://www.partecipiamo.it/cultura/mazzini/giuseppe.htm|title=Giuseppe Mazzini|access-date=13 December 2022|archive-date=13 June 2016|url-status=dead|language=it}}</ref> which sought the unification of Italy.{{sfn|Smith|1969|p={{pn|date=April 2025}}}}

Garibaldi, a native of [[Nice]] (then part of [[Piedmont]]), participated in an uprising in Piedmont in 1834 and was sentenced to death. He escaped to South America,  spending fourteen years in exile, taking part in several wars, and learning the art of guerrilla warfare before his return to Italy in 1848.{{sfn|Ridley|1976|p={{pn|date=April 2025}}}}
