Italy, States: Lombardy-Venice, under Austria Kingdom, 1 Centesimo – 1822

Description

The kingdom of Lombardy-Venecia is created in the Vienna Congress that ends the Napoleonic wars, and in it Austria manages to recover several Italian territories, which had been under control Habsburg intermittently from the 19th century. Among them, the Duchy of Milan, Mantua and Venice. This crown would be in personal union with the Austrian empire. In 1848, with the liberal revolutions that toured Europe, Milan and Venice rose against Austria with the support of the kingdom of Sardinia, but shortly after the revolts were suffocated by Austria. These days of union, they would be important in the Italian unification mentality (risorgimento). In the Second Italian Independence War, after the Austrian defeat, they would have to give up the Lombardy to Italy in 1859, and in 1866 with the third war, the kingdom would disappear
