49 - The Harsh Light of Day

from Talking History: The Italian Unification

We're closing in on the end of the story of the Italian unification.

But that's not how I feel about it - because we're about to leave the heady days of high hopes and dreams for the future into the murky realm of mistakes, and of what might have been.
