>Dear Christina,
>If your interest in foreigners supporting Italian Risorgimento includes
>women, you might be interested in Margaret Fuller, American correspondent for
>the the New York Daily Tribune in the years 1846-49. She was a fervent
>supporter of Mazzini and in 1849 she took active part in the resistance of
>the Roman Republic against the French army. An essay on Fuller is contained
>in: Borghi, L.- Livi Bacci N. (eds.) Viaggio e scrittura - le straniere
>nell'Italia dell' '800. Firenze: Libreria delle donne, 1988 (this has not
>been translated in English, I'm afraid).
>Her letters from Italy have been published separately or in collections of
>her works (in English, of course).
