Although many of his attempts at rallying the common people to a revolution failed, he circulated and popularized the idea of a fully unified Italy for the first time since the fall of the Roman Empire.

In the Turkish cuisine, there is a very similar food called ispanakli and their recipes are almost identical to one another.
