Descrizione:

Goose feather used for writing. Giuseppe Mazzini used it in Genoa, at Felice Dagnino's house, in November 1871 to sign the Pact of Brotherhood, or the union between the Workers' Mutual Aid Societies, a union inspired by Mazzini and Saffi. The document, also on display in the museum, was then approved by the 12th Congress of Italian Workers' Societies held in Rome in November 1871. It was donated by Felice Dagnino to the municipality in 1909.
