or revival), was the political and social movement that consolidated
different states of the Italian peninsula into the single state of the Kingdom
of Italy in the 19th century. The process began in 1815 with the Congress of
Vienna and was completed in 1871 when Rome became the capital of the Kingdom of
Italy. The memory of the Risorgimento is central to both Italian politics and
