One of numerous Risorgimento (reunification period) museums in Italy, Genoa's has extra significance: it is housed in the residence where Italian patriot and activist Giuseppe Mazzini was born in 1805. Occupying rooms that once sheltered the so-called 'soul of Italy' are flags, personal possessions and well-laid-out and succinct explanations (some of them in English) of the complicated process of Italy's unification.
