'''Count Cavour''' lived from August 10, 1810 to June 6, 1861.  A native of Turin, he became premier of Piedmont in 1852 and sought the unification of [[Italy]] through slowly acquiring more land for Piedmont.  In 1859, he used [[Napoleon III]]'s war with [[Austria]] to his advantage to gain the central Italian states.  He invaded the [[Papal States]] and had [[Garibaldi]], who had been doing his own conquests, unify with him.  The acquisition of all of Italy was almost complete when he died in 1861.
