Andrea Luigi Mazzini (11 June 1814 – August 1849) was an Italian revolutionary.

Biography

Born at Pescia, in the province of Pistoia, Tuscany, he emigrated to France, and was for a long time correspondent of the newspaper Gazzetta italiana.[1] From 1845, he began to show sympathy for the Hegelian philosophy of the left, to become a convinced friend and disciple of Moses Hess.[2]

Repatriated in 1848, he became the right-hand man of Giuseppe Montanelli and was sent by the provisional Tuscan government in Sicily to incite a republican revolution.

He died in Marseille.
