2 euro - Camillo Benso Conte di Cavour - Italy - 2010 - Roll - UNC

The coin celebrates the 200th Birthday of Camillo Benso, Conte di Cavour. Camillo Benso, was a leading figure in the movement toward Italian unification. He was the founder of the original Italian Liberal Party and Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia, a position he maintained (except for a six-month resignation) throughout the Second Italian War of Independence and Garibaldi's campaigns to unite Italy. Cavour died only three months after the declaration of a united Kingdom of Italy, and thus did not live to see Venetia or Rome included in the kingdom.
