Garibaldi and Cavour had differing opinions on how Italy should be unified. Garibaldi and his Red Shirts wanted a democracy, whereas, Cavour favored a monarchy. In the end, Garibaldi failed and Cavour was able to unify Italy under the Sardinian crown.
I'm guessing it was Italian unification.
Italy wasn't founded, it was unified. the people who unified it were; Carmillo Benso conte di cavour, Giueseppe Garibaldi and Giueseppe Mazzini
The main leaders of Italian unification were Giuseppe Garibaldi, Camillo di Cavour, and Victor Emmanuel II. Garibaldi was a military leader and played a crucial role in the unification through his guerrilla warfare tactics. Cavour was a statesman who served as the prime minister of Sardinia-Piedmont and played a key role in diplomatically uniting various Italian states. Victor Emmanuel II was the king of Sardinia-Piedmont and later became the first king of a united Italy.
Giuseppe Garibaldi unified Italy in 1861. He was an anti-Catholic (anti-papist) Freemason and is considered an Italian war hero. The eventual unification of Italy took more than a decade. Garibaldi made several attempts to seize Rome in the mid-1860s, and was captured three times and sent back to his farm. In the Franco-Prussian War, Garibaldi, out of sympathy for the newly formed French Republic, briefly fought against the Prussians. As a result of the Franco-Prussian War, the Italian government took control of Rome, and Italy was essentially united. Garibaldi was eventually voted a pension by the Italian government, and he was considered a national hero until his death on June 2, 1882. http://history1800s.about.com/od/giuseppegaribaldi/p/garibaldibio.htm
