6 feb 1858 año - Letter from Orsini to Napoleon

Descripción:

“May your Majesty remember the Italians, among whom was my father, shed their blood for Napoleon the Great, wherever it pleased him to lead them: ay he remember that, as long as Italy is not independent, the tranquility of Europe and that of your Majesty will be nothing more that a chimaera: may your Majesty not deny the ultimate wish of a patriot on the steps of the scaffold; if you Majesty were to deliver my country the blessings of 25 million citizens would follow him in posterity”
