" Je ne suis pas un homme habile, le succès de ce drame l'a prouvé. Si je m'étais exercé dès l'enfance à nager entre deux eaux, je serais bien avec tout le monde. J'inspirerais à tous les partis une indifférence aimable. Je pourrais donner sur le théâtre une pièce bonne ou médiocre, ou même mauvaise, sans trouver aucune opposition. Mais j'aime mieux remonter les courants et casser la glace à coups de tête. Tant pis pour moi et pour Gaëtana ! Si, du moins, par une autre sorte de politique, je m'étais enrôlé dans un parti ! Il y a deux partis en France: l'un qui donne toujours raison au gouvernement, lors même qu'il a tort; l'autre qui lui donne toujours tort, même lorsqu'il a raison. Le premier compose une majorité peu éclairée, mais énorme et imposante; le second forme une coalition active, remuante, et qui a porté plus d'une victoire en quatorze ans. Si j'avais épousé l'opposition, l'opposition m'aurait défendu sans nul doute contre les champions du pouvoir. Si je m'étais inféodé au gouvernement impérial, j'ai lieu de croire que la force régnante m'aurait prêté quelques-uns de ces arguments sans réplique dont elle dispose en temps d'émeute..."

Rome est protégée par Napoléon III qui est, en même temps, le principal allié et protecteur du nouveau royaume d'Italie. Par la convention de septembre, signée en 1864, le gouvernement italien garantit l'autonomie des États pontificaux et fait transférer la capitale de Turin à Florence qui le restera de 1865 à 1871. Garibaldi, pour sa part, mène une action militaire qui vise à la conquête de Rome et se conclut par la journée d'Aspromonte et la bataille de Mentana entre les troupes franco-pontificales et garibaldiennes (3 novembre 1867)...
