Risorgimento
The Italian Unification, or Risorgimento, was opposed by Pope Pius IX because he feared it would result in persecution of Italian Catholics. Prominent Italian nationalists who were Freemasons included Giuseppe Garibaldi, Camillo di Cavour and Giuseppe Mazzini

The risorgimento ended with the dispossession of the Papal States in 1870.
