Terza guerra di indipendenza by *MystOfTheStars on deviantART
1866: Prussia and Italy formed an alliance against the Austrian Empire. This was called "Third war of Independence" for the Italian Kingdom, but it's better known as Austro-Prussian War.
The Italian army and fleet lost badly against the Austrian (a part from Garibaldi and his men who were slowly going on on their path through the Alps, conquering Bezzecca but then having to go back because the war ended), but then the Austrian Empire was beaten up badly by the Prussian army.
However, Italy managed to earn Venice from Austria - actually, Austria gave Venice to France, which then donated it to Italy.
I know these facts aren't exactly the most honorable to draw a picture about, our Risorgimento has many moments which are less embarrassing xD but I liked the idea of drawing all those characters together.
And still, for as many sad events happened through our history, and embarrassing characters we have had and still have in our country, we can deal with it as long as we remember all the many good moments and brave people and artists who still make this the best place in the world~
I find this part of history extremely interesting and amazing, with all the sides and the parts that contributed into the Italian unification process - and an important role was definitely played by the other European powers, both as allies and as opponents.
The uniforms and outfits in the drawing were meant to look like the ones worn by Napoleon III, Bismarck, Franz Joseph and Garibaldi, but, uhm, I didn't reallt try that hard, so please don't get offended by the scarce resemblance.
