"Pope Pius IX: The Controversial Figure of Italian History" Pope Pius IX, also known as Giovanni Maria Mastai Ferretti, was a prominent figure during the tumultuous period of Italian history in the 19th century. Often referred to as "The Real Italian Brigand Chief, " he played a significant role in shaping the political landscape of his time. Two cartoons from 1861 depict the anti-clericalism prevalent during that era. These illustrations shed light on the challenges faced by Pope Pius IX and his clash with secular forces. Despite this opposition, he remained steadfast in his beliefs and convictions. In an engraving from "The Illustrous Universe" in 1867, we see Pope Pius IX visiting Garibaldian prisoners at the Castle of Saint Angelo in Rome. This act demonstrated his compassion and willingness to bridge divides even amidst political turmoil. One notable event occurred on July 16, 1846 when Pope Pius IX decreed a general amnesty for political detainees. By granting freedom to revolutionaries through this act of clemency, he showcased his commitment to justice and reconciliation. The Lying-in-State engraving depicts the somber moment following Pope Pius IX's passing. It serves as a reminder of his influential presence throughout Italy's Risorgimento movement - an allegory captured beautifully in a lithograph from that era. Another striking image portrays Pope Pius IX alongside Jesus Christ and two angels—an engraving symbolizing his deep religious devotion and connection with divine guidance throughout his papacy. Ludovico Tuminello's portrait captures Pie IX around 1876—a testament to how enduringly recognizable this historical figure remains today. Similarly, Velletri's black-and-white photograph taken on March 11, 1863 offers us another glimpse into the life of this enigmatic pope. Color lithographs further immortalize him.
