Italian Liberalism

Italian Liberalism, emerging in the 19th century, was a political movement that promoted individual freedoms, limited government authority, and free-market economy principles. It supported unification of Italy through national sovereignty, advocating for civil liberties, constitutional governance, and private enterprise. The movement aimed to modernize Italy by reducing aristocratic influence and encouraging progress through education and economic development. Italian Liberalism balanced nationalism with liberal political ideals, shaping Italy's transition from divided kingdoms to a unified state, while emphasizing personal rights and economic opportunity as foundations for national growth.
