One of the leaders of the patriotic movement of the bourgeoisie and nobility in the Lombardy-Venice region that resisted French (up to 1814) and later Austrian domination. From 1818 he headed the secret society known as the Italian Federation, which attempted to liberate Lombardy-Venice from Austrian rule and create a constitutional monarchy in northern Italy.
