Expert Answer
There were three main obstacles to the political unification of Italy:
- The occupation of the northern states of Lombardy and Venice by Austria.
- The Papal States of the central swathes of Italian peninsula would not be given up by the Pope.
- There were also kingdoms and states which had maintained their political independence for a long time. An important example of this was the kingdom of Sardinia, also called Piedmont Sardinia.
