About the lecture

In this module, we think about the reshaping of the Italian peninsula following the Congress of Vienna in 1814-15, focusing in particular on the sections of society that were disappointed with the settlement: those who thought the settlement went too far in reversing the changes introduced by Napoleon, and those who though the settlement didn't go far enough.
