Felice Orsini is a central figure in the history of the Risorgimento. His attempt on the life of the French emperor Napoleon III (January 1858) and his pre-execution appeal to Napoleon to ‘deliver my country’ heralded a new interventionist phase in French imperial policy towards the Italian question. Orsini’s name is also familiar to British historians: parliamentary opposition to the Conspiracy to Murder Bill (February 1858), introduced in response to the attentat (the Orsini plot had been prepared in England), led to the fall of the Palmerston ministry.
