Abstract

Abstract The beginnings of Italian parliamentary history must be traced, as in a number of other European countries, to the fateful year of 1848, that is to say, thirteen years before the creation of the kingdom of Italy. In that year, the constitution granted by the King of Sardinia to the north-western regional states covering Piedmont, Savoy, Genoa, and the island of Sardinia established the first durable elected parliament on the Italian peninsula. In 1861, as a consequence of the process of Italian unification, which had been successfully engineered under the leadership of the Piedmontese state, this constitution and this Parliament became the constitution and parliament of the new Italian state and were extended in the following decades to the other regions as they were integrated.
