    Explanation: both 19th-century politicians (at that time Italy was not unified). Cavour was a prime minister of Sardinian kingdom (1852-1859 and then between 1860 and 1861), he was a monarchist politician and belong to those politicians who attempted to unify Italian territories under the rule of Savoy dynasty. He became internationally recognized politician when waging a Crimean war together with Britain and France.

    Giuseppe Garibaldi is considered a representantive figure of Italian risorgimento movement driven by nationalist sentiments of that time. In 1860 he was able to move from Genoa to Sicily, to conquer a kingdom of Two Sicilies (at that time under the rule of Bourbon dynasty) and Umbria. These territories Garibaldi handed in to Savoy dynasty (Victor Emmanuel II). After all these event Italian kingdom was proclaimed in Torino (1861).
