'''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.
Count Cavour lived from August 10, 1810 to June 6, 1861. He was a Piedmontese [[conservative]] statesman whose exploitation of international rivalries and of revolutionary movements brought about the unification of Italy under the House of Savoy.
