Bandiera Brothers
The Bandiera Brothers (in Italian Fratelli Bandiera) were the Italian patriots Attilio and Emilio Bandiera, (1811-1844) and (1819-1844). The two brothers, sons of Baron Francesco Bandiera, an admiral in the Austro-Hungarian Navy, were themselves members of that service, but at an early age they were won over to the ideas of Italian freedom and unity, and corresponded with Giuseppe Mazzini and other members of the La Giovine Italia, a patriotic and revolutionary secret society.
