This chapter examines the religious revival, known as the revéil, which was imported from Switzerland, and the political unification of Italy, referred to as the Risorgimento, which culminated in the unification of Italy in 1870, as the key factors that shaped the historical context conducive to the Waldensian Church’s evangelization project aimed at protestantizing Italy from 1860 to 1915. The project also aimed to contribute to Italian nation-state building. The chapter first introduces the changing historical and legal context for minority Protestants in Italy that allowed such missionary enterprise. It then explores transnational connections by focusing on various aspects of the revival as expressed by the evangelization project’s generation and the influence of foreign evangelical benefactors. Finally, the chapter considers how minority Protestants envisioned the concept of the nation during the Risorgimento period, particularly as depicted in the underexplored primary sources of the evangelization project. In doing so, the chapter highlights the relationship between religious minorities and politics in national identity formation and the paradox of the transnational elements inherent in such history.
