Cripsi’s Remarkable Career Ends Era of Italian Makers
The article recalls Francesco Crispi as the last of Italy’s great makers to fade from public life. Born in Sicily, he rose from exile to lead Sicily’s provisional government, joined Garibaldi’s expedition, and became Italy’s premier and foreign minister. His career featured clashes with Depretis, a trip to Bismarck, and a volatile tenure marked by resignations amid fiscal and colonial pressures. In his later years he receded, still pushing Italian leadership in China and facing health and fire incidents.
