===Pisacane fiasco=== In 1857, [[Carlo Pisacane]], an aristocrat from Naples who had embraced Mazzini's ideas, decided to provoke a rising in the [[Kingdom of the Two Sicilies]]. His small force landed on the island of [[Ponza]]. It overpowered guards and liberated hundreds of prisoners. In sharp contrast to his hypothetical expectations, there was no local uprising and the invaders were quickly overpowered. Pisacane was killed by angry locals who suspected he was leading a [[Romani people|Romani]] band trying to steal their food.<ref>{{cite book|first=Martin |last=Collier|title=Italian Unification, 1820β71|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=YG9kZBJdKJwC&pg=PA51|year=2003|publisher=Heinemann|page=51|isbn=978-0435327545}}</ref>
