  • In 1954, Denis Mack Smith, who has died aged 97, produced his first book – and his masterpiece – Cavour and Garibaldi 1860: A Study in Political Conflict. Written with verve and style, it unpicks a crucial year in Italian history, undercutting a series of accepted truths concerning Italy’s unification and, in Jonathan Steinberg’s words, telling Italians “what they did not want to hear”.
  • Denis was a rarity, a true populariser of history, who wrote in a clear, readable and engaging style. His writing was full of quotable lines. He wrote of Cavour that he had “managed to persuade people to back a revolution on the excuse that this was the way to prevent a revolution”.
  • In 1949, Denis met one of Garibaldi’s daughters in Rome, and she invited him to visit the family home on the island in Caprera. He later said that it was one of the great regrets of his life that he had not been able to do so.

  • His own other publications included a biography of Mussolini (1982), and further, separate studies of Garibaldi and Cavour were joined in 1994 by a biography of Giuseppe Mazzini, the other leading figure of the Risorgimento. Denis also edited The Making of Italy, 1796-1866 (1988), and co-authored A History of Sicily (1986) with Moses Finley and Christopher Duggan.
  • Denis’s success set in train a whole host of British scholars working on modern and contemporary Italy. The Association for the Study of Modern Italy, which organises an annual conference and publishes the journal Modern Italy, was set up in 1982, and Denis followed Christopher Seton-Watson as its chair. He was made a fellow of the British Academy (1976), a Grande Ufficiale dell’Ordine di Merito della Repubblica Italiana (1984) and a CBE (1990).
