EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from L'Illustration Journal Universel captures a pivotal moment in Italian history: the vote for the annexation of the Two Sicilies kingdom to the newly formed Kingdom of Italy in 1860. The room depicted is likely where the plebiscite took place at the University of Naples. The age of democracy was dawning in Europe, and the people's voices were being heard loud and clear. The previous year, Francis II, the king of the Two Sicilies, was deposed following the Sardinian army's successful expedition led by Giuseppe Garibaldi. The Italian Risorgimento, or resurgence, was in full swing, and the Italian peninsula was on the brink of unification. In this scene, the people of Naples are seen casting their votes to ratify the incorporation of the Two Sicilies territory into the Italian Kingdom. The happy faces of the voters reflect the popular sentiment for unity and the end of foreign rule. The annexation was a significant step towards the completion of the Italian unification process, which had begun in 1859. The engraving serves as a testament to the power of the people's will and the triumph of nationalism over monarchical rule. The Italian peninsula was no longer a collection of separate states, but a unified country, ready to take its place on the European stage.
