In Fuller’s words

“I copy this from the Roman Monitor of this week, as a natural appendix to my letter. [...] "Martyrology of Italian liberty" / Colemba Antonietti di Fuligno has followed for two years her husband Luigi Porzio, lieutenant in the 2d regiment of the Line, sharing with him fatigues and dangers, the long marches and the fire of the enemy.”

Inferred The principal republican newspaper most closely associated with Mazzini's governance was Il Monitore Romano, the official organ of the Triumvirate (Mazzini, Armellini, Saffi), making this the probable identification though Fuller does not name it explicitly.
