Pietro Barsanti

Pietro Barsanti (30 July 1849 – 27 August 1870) was an Italian military soldier. Supporter of republican ideas, soldier in the Royal Italian Army with the rank of corporal, he was sentenced to death and shot for having favored an insurrectional attempt against the Savoy monarchy, and is therefore considered the first martyr of the modern Italian Republic and a symbol of republican ideals in Italy.
