See also:BARTOLOMMEI, See also:MARQUIS FERDINANDO (1821-1869); See also:Italian revolutionist and statesman, who played an important See also:part in the See also:political events of See also:Tuscany from 1848 to 186o. From the beginning of the revolutionary See also:movement Bartolommei was always an ardent Liberal, and although belonging to an old and
See also:noble Florentine See also:family his sympathies were with the democratic party rather than with the moderately liberal See also:aristocracy. In 1847–1848 his See also:house was a centre of revolutionary committees, and during the brief constitutional regime he was much to the fore. After the return of the See also:grand See also:duke See also:Leopold II. in 1849 under See also:Austrian See also:protection, Bartolommei was See also:present at a See also:requiem service in the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

church of See also:Santa Croce for those who See also:fell in the See also:late See also:campaign against See also:Austria; on that occasion disorders occurred and he was relegated to his See also:country See also:estate in consequence (1851). Shortly afterwards he was implicated in the See also:distribution of seditious literature and exiled from Tuscany for a See also:year. He settled at See also:Turin for a See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time and established relations with See also:Cavour and the Piedmontese liberals. He subsequently visited See also:France and See also:England, and like many Italian patriots became enamoured of See also:British institutions. He returned to See also:Florence in 1853; from that time onward he devoted himself to the task of promoting the ideas of Italian See also:independence and unity among the See also:people, and although carefully watched by the See also:police, he kept a See also:secret See also:printing-See also:press in his See also:palace in Florence. Finding that the See also:nobility still hesitated at the See also:idea of uncompromising hostility to the house of See also:Lorraine, he allied himself more firmly with the popular party, and found an able See also:lieutenant in the See also:baker Giuseppe Dolfi (1818–1869), an honest and whole-hearted enthusiast who had See also:great See also:influence with the See also:common people. As soon as See also:war between See also:Piedmont and Austria appeared imminent, Bartolommei organized the expedition of Tuscan See also:volunteers to join the Piedmontese See also:army, spending large sums out of his own See also:pocket for the purpose, and was also See also:president of the Tuscan See also:branch of the Societd Nazionale (see under LA See also:FARINA and CAVOUR). He worked desperately hard conspiring for the overthrow of the grand duke, assisted by all the liberal elements, and on the 27th of See also:April 1859, Florence See also:rose as one See also:man, the troops refused to See also:fire on the people, and the grand duke departed, never to return. Sapristi 1 pas un carreau casse 1 was the comment of the See also:French See also:minister to Tuscany on this bloodless revolution.
A provisional See also:government was formed and Bartolommei elected gonfaloniere. He had much opposition to encounter from those who still believed that the retention of the grand duke as a constitutional See also:sovereign and member of an Italian See also:confederation was possible. In the summer elections were held, and on the See also:- MEETING (from " to meet," to come together, assemble, 0. Eng. metals ; cf. Du. moeten, Swed. mota, Goth. gamotjan, &c., derivatives of the Teut. word for a meeting, seen in O. Eng. Wit, moot, an assembly of the people; cf. witanagemot)
meeting of See also:parliament Bartolommei's unitarian views prevailed, the See also:assembly voting the See also:resolution that the house of Lorraine had forfeited its rights and that Tuscany must be See also:united to See also:Italy under See also:- KING

The best See also:biography of Bartolommei is contained in Il Rivolgimento Toscano e 1'azione popolare, by his daughter Matilde Gioli (Florence, 1905), but the author attributes perhaps an undue preponderance to her See also:father in the Tuscan revolution, and is not quite See also:fair towards Bettino See also:Ricasoli (q.v.) and other leaders of the aristocratic party.
