The stage of Italian unification refers to the process by which the various states and territories of the Italian peninsula were unified into a single nation-state, known as Italy. This process began in the early 19th century and was largely driven by nationalist movements and the efforts of key figures such as Giuseppe Garibaldi and Count Camillo di Cavour. The final stage of Italian unification was completed in 1871 with the capture of Rome and the establishment of the Kingdom of Italy under King Victor Emmanuel II.
