Specialist Notes

Gazzetta directed by Carlo Galvani, close to the intransigent positions of Francesco IV D'Austria-Este. The Duke often published articles in the periodical and often also his wife, Maria Beatrice Vittoria di Savoia. It soon became an expression of the most anti-liberal voices of Central Italy, often carrying out attacks, even very aggressive ones, against Giuseppe Mazzini and the Young Italy.
