Gli esuli siciliani in Francia tra Stato e Chiesa (1848-1860)

The paper analyses the story of the Sicilian exiles after the failure of the 1848 revolution. In particular, it focused on the repeated stays in France of Sicilian political "emigrants". Furthermore, starting from some exemplary figures of exiles, it studied their social origin and their repositioning with reference to their original autonomist and independence choices towards the Italian unification.
