The Italian people harbored negative feelings towards Austria, because of pre-existing conditions and because of failed revolutions in 1848.
Much of north Italy was under the rule of the Habsburg Austrian Empire. Much of south Italy was under the rule of the Bourbon monarchs from France. Foreign rule was disadvantageous culturally, economically, and politically. For example, the Italian island of Sardinia was free of Austrian and French rule. It had control over its cultural expressions, economic health, and political structures. It therefore was a startling contrast to the Austrian and French arms, banks, languages, and politics that ruled over the Italian peninsula and the Italian island of Sicily.
