Within a few months, the whole Emilia-Romagna would join the constitutional monarchy of Vittorio Emanuele II, the future King of Italy.
In this way, the process of National Unification was carried out in Bologna for a few decades before, which had seen the day of greater glory in the battle of August 8, 1848.
