See also:Left an See also:orphan at eighteen, with an See also:estate heavily encumbered, he ' was by See also:special See also:decree of the See also:grand See also:duke of See also:Tuscany declared of See also:age. and
entrusted with the guardianship of his younger See also:brothers. Interrupting his studies, he withdrew to Broglio, and by careful management disencumbered the See also:family possessions. In 1847 he founded the See also:journal La Patria, and addressed to the grand duke a memorial suggesting remedies for the difficulties of the See also:state. In 1848 he was elected Gonfaloniere of See also:Florence, but resigned on See also:account of the See also:anti-Liberal tendencies of the grand duke. As Tuscan See also:minister of the interior in 1859 he promoted the See also:union of Tuscany with See also:Piedmont, which took See also:place on the 12th of March 186o. Elected Italian See also:deputy in 1861, he succeeded See also:Cavour in the premiership. As premier he admitted the Garibaldian See also:volunteers to the See also:regular See also:army, revoked the decree of See also:- EXILE (Lat. exsilium or exilium, from exsul or exul, which is derived from ex, out of, and the root sal, to go, seen in salire, to leap, consul, &c.; the connexion with solum, soil, country is now generally considered wrong)
exile against Mazzini, and attempted reconciliation with the Vatican; but his efforts were rendered ineffectual by the non possumus of the See also:pope. Disdainful of the intrigues of his See also:rival Rattazzi, he found himself obliged in 1862 to resign See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office, but returned to See also:power in 1866. On this occasion he refused See also:Napoleon III.'s offer to cede See also:Venetia to See also:Italy, on See also:condition that Italy should abandon the Prussian See also:alliance, and also refused the Prussian decoration of the See also:Black See also:Eagle because Lamarmora, author of the alliance, was not to receive it. Upon the departure of the See also:French troops from See also:Rome at the end of 1866 he again attempted to conciliate the Vatican with a See also:convention, in virtue of which Italy would have restored to 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

- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order to mollify the Vatican he conceded the See also:exequatur to See also:forty-five bishops inimical to the Italian regime. The Vatican accepted his proposal, but the Italian Chamber proved refractory, and, though dissolved by Ricasoli, returned more hostile than before. Without waiting for a See also:vote, Ricasoli resigned office and thenceforward practically disappeared from See also:political See also:life, speaking in the Chamber only upon rare occasions. He died at Broglio on the 23rd of See also:October 1880. His private life and public career were marked by the utmost integrity, and by a rigid austerity which earned him the,name of the "See also:iron baron." In spite of the failure of his ecclesiastical See also:- SCHEME (Lat. schema, Gr. oxfjya, figure, form, from the root axe, seen in exeiv, to have, hold, to be of such shape, form, &c.)
scheme, he remains one of the most noteworthy figures of the Italian
Risorgimento.
