"Young Italy" was the Italian independence movement founded by Giuseppe Mazzini that combined nationalist and democratic ideals.

Explanation:

Young Italy, campaign developed in 1831 by Giuseppe Mazzini to strive for a united Italian republican government. Gaining many Italians to the struggle of independence, it has served the significant role in the Risorgimento (Italian unification challenge).

Young Italy's slogan had been 'God and the People', Mazzini the leader was not a Christian, but had faith in God and human power. The most popular leader of the campaign had been Giuseppe Garibaldi. He joined the group around 1833, having met Mazzini back in Geneva via social and political changes. In contrast, he became part of a failed rebellion in Piedmont headed by Mazzini.
