context_page_description: Enrico Tazzoli was an Italian patriot and priest, the best known of the Belfiore martyrs.
context_section_description: While Tazzoli did not share the religious vision of Giuseppe Mazzini, he became convinced that his Young Italy movement was the only one that had the membership and organization needed to take concrete action. Very involved in Catholic philanthropy and popular education, he married the "enlightened" principles of his Christianity with the humanitarian and "democratic" spirit of the Risorgimento to define his supreme love of country, his second religion.
  On 2 November 1850, in a house at number 10 on the street in Mantua which is today called via Giovanni Chiassi, twenty Mantuans
  participated in the meeting which laid the foundation of an anti-Austrian insurrection plan. 
  Don Enrico Tazzoli was the main organizer and coordinator of the conspiracy. 
  He was also in contact with Mazzini, in exile in London, and was actively engaged in distributing Mazzini's leaflets. 
  The Austrian police accidentally found some of these leaflets, and by using torture discovered the conspiracy. 
  Don Enrico Tazzoli was arrested on 27 January 1852. 
  Many documents were seized, including an encrypted register in which he noted receipts and expenses, with the names of members who had paid money. 
  On 24 June, while in prison, Don Tazzoli learned that the Austrians had deciphered the key to understanding his book, which was based on his Pater Noster. 
  Members from Mantua, Verona, Brescia and Venice were arrested.
