CANTI DI PATRIOTI. A collection of 152 patriotic pieces, for the most part printed in Turin or Milan, 1847-48. Average size 300 x 200mm. Mostly broadsides but a few of 4 or 6pp. Many with a lithographed illustration at head, many in dialect, all mounted on card and contained in a modern board folding box. A fascinating collection of ephemera from two tumultuous years in Italian history, 1847 and 1848, written in the form of poetry, little plays, political catechisms and scurrilous character assassinations of Metternich and Radetsky (the Austrian commander-in-chief in Italy).
