__//**SUMMARY OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS**//__ One major accomplishment of Cavour was his ability to unify Italy. Cavour was the Minister of Sardinia-Piedmont and needed to gain territory to unify Italy. "Sardinia-Piedmont gained territory and power by wresting Lombardy from the Austrians, and in 1860, an additional agreement with France gained Tuscany, Parma, Modena, and portions of the Papal States." (Camillo Benso di Cavour). This quoted is saying that they fought with Lombardy, a leader of the Austrians, and made an agreement with France which gave them portions of the Papal states. Sardinia-Piedmont was now the most powerful state in Italy and poised to dominate unification of Italy. From here Giuseppe Garibaldi, a rival of Cavour, launched an invasion of Sicily to end the monarchical rule there, and he succeeded. Cavour quickly regrouped by sending an army into the Papal States, capturing them, and preventing Garibaldi from marching on Rome. This strategy resulted in teamwork between Cavour and Garibaldi and they unified Italy. Cavour also accomplished many leader ships. He was Minister of Marine, and with great knowledge of the economic market, he was promoted to Minister of Finance. From here he was Prime Minister of Sardinia-Piedmont which is where he unified Italy. Finally he became Prime Minister of Italy. "On March 17, 1861 Victor Emmanuel II became the King of Italy, making Cavour officially prime minister of Italy. Cavour had many stressful topics that all needed consideration, including how to create a national military, which legal institutions should be kept for where, the future of Rome, which most still believed must be capital of a united Italy, and any number of other concerns." (Camillo Benso di Cavour) (ABC-CLIO) Camillo di Cavour played a major role in making Rome the capital of Italy. On March 27, 1861, Cavour made a speech “asking the Italian parliament to declare Rome the capital of Italy.” (Salvadori 88). During this speech, Cavour “laid down the principles later applied in the policies of the Italian state after the occupation of Rome in 1870, regulating church-state relationships until 1920.” (Salvadori 88). The Pope made a difficult to bring Rome into Italy. Pope Pius IX took the papal office in 1846. Pope Pius was an “Italian nationalist.” ( Camillo Di Cavour  ). He was very proud of his country. He was very skeptical of the unification because there was an attempt at a revolution in Rome in 1848. “Napoleon III threatened war against any Italian government which attempted to annex the Holy City.” ( Camillo Di Cavour  ). Cavour’s idea of “waiting for helpful developments in European diplomacy” ( Camillo Di Cavour  ) helped with taking over Rome. The Piedmontese government waited for Napoleon to declare war on Prussia. After he became a prisoner in Prussia, the Piedmontese army went into Rome and made it a part of united Italy. Overall, Cavour influenced making Rome the capital because he first came up with the idea. He originally gave the speech saying that he wanted Rome to be the capital. Also, his idea of not attacking to soon paid off because the Piedmontese army was able to go in and take over Rome. (Camillo Di Cavour) (Salvadori, Massimo)
