National pride is the weapon needed for the recreation of the great Italian nation. We have worked for years and toiled in the b
lood and sweat of war. The last stage of our national resurrection is drawing to a close and we must finish this worthy cause called unification. Every Italian should rally round Victor Emanuel. Once more I repeat my battle-cry: "To arms, all of you!" We need all Italians to raise up their arms…liberty will be ours and the life of Italy will belong to us.
We are a great people and must work together to be great again…, our collaboration, our resolve, and our unity… will again make us a power to be feared.
I utter this word with deepest affection and from the very bottom of my heart. The hour of battle will find me with you again, by the side of the champions of Italian liberty. Let all that believe guard our glorious banners. We shall meet again before long to march together to the redemption of our brothers who are still slaves of the stranger [foreign power]. We shall meet again before long to march to new triumphant Italy

In a country unified only a little more than a century ago and traditonally wracked by regionalism, Italians are discovering a positive, new nationalism.
``We used to say we were Milanese, Roman, or Neapolitan,'' says Ernesto Galli Della Loggia, a history professor at the University of Perugia. ``We finally know what it is to be Italian.''
