- This is the name given to the historic period of struggle for independence and Italian unity from its first movements (1820-21, 1831) to the insurrections and wars 1848-66. The major events were the three wars of independence against the Austro-Hungarians (1848-49, 1859 and 1866) and the expedition of Garibaldi's Thousand in 1860. The moderate monarchist line prevailed over the republican revolutionary tendency of Giuseppe Mazzini, and the House of Savoy took the throne of Italy in 1861. Rome became the capital in 1871.

- The Italian national flag: green, white, and red in vertical bands of equal width. It was created as the flag of the Cispadana republic in 1797 (modelled on the French flag), was used by the patriots during the Risorgimento, and from 1861 was the flag of the kingdom of Italy, with the coat of arms of the House of Savoy in the centre of the white band. The coat of arms was removed in 1946 when it became the flag of the Italian republic.
