The son of King Carlo Alberto of Sardinia, Victor Emmanuel II became King of Piedmont-Sardinia in 1849 and early on took the lead in the war against Austria and the unification of the Italian states. His alliance with Garibaldi and others ensured a successful coalition and in 1861 he became the first King of Italy. He died in Rome in 1878 having been reconciled with the Church and firmly establishing the Kingdom of Italy among the major powers.
