Movement for Italian national unity and
independence from 1815. Uprisings failed
1848-49, but with French help, a war against
Austria, including the Battle of Solferino
1859, led to the foundation of an Italian
kingdom 1861. Unification was finally
completed with the addition of Venetia 1866
and the Papal States 1870. Leading figures in
the movement included Cavour, Mazzini, and
Garibaldi.
