In 1861, Italy was granted sovereignty following the unification of various states and territories, including those that had been under the control of Genoa, France, and Sardinia. This marked the official establishment of the Kingdom of Italy, bringing together regions that had experienced a complex history of foreign rule and local governance. The unification was a significant moment in the 19th century, driven by nationalist movements and the efforts of key figures like Giuseppe Garibaldi and Count Camillo di Cavour.
