The nobility, burghers, and peasants united to form resistance and militia forces, who established secret networks of contacts and plotted how to fight the French invading army, each swearing to defend the dignity of Italy with their love for their homeland.
When the French invading army broke into Italian soil, the Italian people did not stand tether, they showed a tenacious spirit of resistance, united and fought for their freedom and dignity.
Faced with the threat of invasion, the Italian people organized themselves into various resistance organizations and militia forces, who collaborated, supported each other, and worked for a common goal, whether nobles, burghers or peasants, who stood together and threw themselves into the resistance, shoulder to shoulder.
