Well it was but then the nationalist revolutions of 1848 happened, in 1848 almost every Italian state sent troops to fight against the Austrians, a lot of people in the North and the center-north fought for a united Italy 3 Times (1848 1859 1866) (and after 1861, the whole of the country was unified, except Rome) the pope even sent some troops in the 1st indipendence war, also why is the map like that? I mean without even considering that most Italians are happy to stay in Italy and don’t wanna secede, if we want to be historical we should give Veneto to Austria, annex savoy and sardinia to piedmont and create 2 giant States in the center and south (2 Sicilies and papacy)
