As Edmond Burke said: Good intentions are not enough to constitute political actions; it is the results that matter. Most historians and politicians hold the same view. Therefore, in long periods of historical research, historians often ignore the failed expedition in Genoa in 1833 initiated by 'Young Italy'.
Even when they occasionally mention it, it is mostly used as an example to criticize the early immature and unrealistic thoughts of 'Young Italy' leaders like Mazzini and Garibaldi. Mazzini originally thought that as long as the expeditionary army raised the green, white, and red tricolor flag and shouted slogans for Italy's national independence and unification, the Italian people would eagerly join their army.
