520 _a"Sul libro degli ultimi casi di Romagna e sulle speranze d''Italia fondate su…." is a polemical political pamphlet written in the mid-19th century. Framed as an open letter to Massimo d’Azeglio, it rebuts moderate counsels with a fiery defense of Italian uprisings, denounces contemporary rulers as tyrants, and argues that independence has been amply earned through long suffering and sacrifice. The work attacks the papal regime, the Bourbon monarchy in Naples, and above all Carlo Alberto and aristocratic “moderates,” contending that cautious protest is futile under censorship and police repression. Its likely focus is to justify insurrection in Romagna as a national, not provincial, effort and to rally Italians toward unity, leadership, and decisive action. The opening of "Sul libro degli ultimi casi di Romagna e sulle speranze d''Italia fondate su…." addresses d’Azeglio directly, explaining the writer’s reluctant but compelled reply to his book on Romagna and his “hopes” in Carlo Alberto. Osservazione I rejects the claim that the age of tyrants is over, naming the Pope, the Duke of Modena, the King of Naples, and Carlo Alberto as present-day despots who imprison without trial; it defends Alfieri’s vehement language. Osservazione II disputes the idea that speaking freely is safe, citing censorship, surveillance, and even the constrained circulation of d’Azeglio’s own volume, while skewering aristocratic moderates like Balbo and lamenting theatrical muzzling. Osservazione III asserts Italy has long merited freedom, cataloging centuries of invasions and current abuses; Osservazione IV defends revolt as morally noble regardless of outcome and faults d’Azeglio’s contradictions. Osservazione V denies Italian egoism and municipalism, casting partial uprisings as sparks for a national blaze and calling for a leader and discreet propaganda; Osservazione VI rejects equating rebels with princes, urging resistance over resigned suffering. Osservazione VII mocks the notion of asking the Papal State to be “more despotic” and castigates Carlo Alberto’s betrayals; Osservazione VIII argues that open protests are useless and dangerous, offering anecdotes and beginning to cite the great powers’ ignored reform memorandum to Rome.
