L’insurrezione genovese del 1849 attraverso gli scritti di Alfonso Ferrero della Marmora.
- Authors

- Abstract
On the first days of April 1849, General Alfonso Ferrero della Marmora quelled, not without bloodshed, the insurrection that had broken out in Genoa following the news of the defeat of the Sardinian Army in Novara. This article – the result of biographical studies on the General’s youth – wishes to be a small contribution to the reconstruction of those moments, focusing specifically on La Marmora’s point of view and the manner in which he lived through and took part in the events of those days. It analyses his understanding of the military situation and the strategic plan he therefore executed; his defences and justifications regarding the bombardment of the city and the violence and pillaging that some of his troops perpetrated, highlighting the differences between the two episodes; and, lastly, the manner in which he understood and approached the double nature of the revolt, split between a moderate and an extremist faction.
