This volume continues the tale of brigandage, the government’s response, and the steady push toward national unity.
The book frames the southern crisis through official investigations, parliamentary debates, and practical measures that aimed to curb violence and strengthen civil authority. It highlights how infrastructure, education, policing, and justice reform became tools in the effort to restore order and build a functioning state.

- See how improvements in transportation and public works affected local communities and diminished support for brigandage.
- Understand the push for better prisons, faster trials, and a more vigilant police as core elements of state reform.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history of modern brigandage in Southern Italy, specifically focusing on the years 1860-1863. The author, who was a member of a parliamentary commission appointed to investigate the issue, provides a comprehensive analysis of the causes and consequences of brigandage in this region. The book traces the origins of brigandage back to feudalism and the Spanish viceroyalty, arguing that these factors created a culture of violence and impunity that persisted for centuries. The author also examines the role of the Neapolitan monarchy in fostering brigandage, and discusses the impact of the political upheavals of 1860 on the phenomenon. The book concludes by exploring the social and economic factors that contributed to the persistence of brigandage in Southern Italy, and offers insights into the complex relationship between brigandage and the broader political and social context of the time.
