Biography
Giuseppe Bassi was born on August 12, 1801 in Cento , in the family of Luigi Bassi and Felicita Rossetti [1] . In 1835, he took the name of Hugo in honor of Foscolo . He studied rhetoric at the Varnavit school in Bologna , in 1819 joined their Roman congregation and in 1821 took vows. Later he taught in Naples , in 1825 ordained priest. He devoted himself to preaching in Naples and later in Piedmont , seeking to promote the spread of liberal ideas. During the first war for the unification of Italy, Bassi, violating the will of Pope Pius IX , joined the volunteers of in April 1848 as chaplain. May 12, 1848 Bassi was wounded three times in Treviso and sent to Venice , later participated in her defense. July 29, 1848 Bassi was defrocked, but never received the appropriate document. After moving to Rome, he joined, again as a chaplain, to the Garibaldians who defended the Roman Republic , and after the defeat of the revolution, he fled with Garibaldi to San Marino . Then, as part of a detachment of three hundred people who accompanied Garibaldi to Venice, landed at Cesenatico . Together with captain he arrived at Comacchio , where both were captured by Austrian troops on August 4, 1849, on August 7, they were flown to Bologna, and on August 8, after a hasty trial, were shot at the local cemetery of the Carthusian monastery [2] [3] charges (the priest was allegedly captured with a weapon in his hands). The death sentence was approved by a meeting in the palace of the papal legate, which was attended exclusively by [4] - nine Bologna and three Hungarian (the latter refused to sign the document) [5] . Many patriots (including Garibaldi [6] ) accused the papal legate Cardinal Bedini and Pius IX of not wanting to take steps to save Bass, although there is reason to believe that the haste of the entire operation was due precisely to the desire of the Austrians to keep the legate and Pope of Rome in ignorance. Years later, Marco Mingetti , the minister of the Sardinian kingdom, wrote to Count that Bedini’s intervention in the actions of General Gorshkovsky would have brought zero results, since the papal legate was not distinguished by vividness of mind. Bedini was really tired of Austrian interference in his competence and began to demonstrate his dissatisfaction with the actions of the invaders, at first timidly, then with greater fervor. However, in the end, he preferred the Holy See to dismiss him in 1852 .
