Abstract

Historical evidence can be provided by various sources. Victorians are remembered as history’s hoarders and their cultural habits are important for collectors and historians. In this chapter I will try to demonstrate how everyday objects – food, house decora- tions, clothes, pottery, pictures – can be used as proof of the political commitment of the British people to the nascent Italian State; a means of understanding how British people experienced the cause of Italian unification – the Risorgimento – and how they took part in it.
