Thoughts on the alleged party in Italy?!!! I don’t understand… like have a private party fine but why italy?!

It’s like rania wants to ruin hussein and rajwa from the beginning. I really thought they would try 🤷‍♀️

The henna was just a facade I guess

Yeah their modest ceremonies that reflect Jordanian culture are 100% for PR. They held a lavish private party for Iman too in Aquaba. Why Sardinia? It's one of their favorite destinations , they were seen vacationing there so many times before.

Please pleaaaase hahah am begging would you please put a "lil bit... just a tiny bit" of blame on ABDULLAH. Gosh he's the corrupt leader who failed to rule his country, and for sure he's the one who provides his family with the crazy amounts of money they're spending on clothes, parties,studies... Am sure he has a private jet , lavish cars ... He had several real estates in America and England. Even if he was married to ME or to YOU and not to RANIA hahaha he would be that one damn corrupt King and he would spend that crazy amounts of money ! All arab kings , sheikhs and most of Arab presidents are corrupt regardless of who their spouses are! It's just that Rania digged her own grave by sharing her pics on her Instagram account and by attracting the media's attention. And I know she and her family are corrupt too but it's ABDULLAH' s fault because he allowed that!

Berlusconi’s Villa Put On Sale For Over $500 Million – Financial Times

The family of Italy’s late Former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has put up for sale his Luxurious Sardinian Beach Estate, Villa Certosa, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday, citing sources at real estate adviser Dils, which will be in charge of the sale.

According to the report, the price tag for the property has been set at €500 million ($540 million), nearly twice as much as its latest appraisal in 2021, which assessed the estate at €260 million.

Sources said the transaction will be private, and will not be advertised publicly. Several billionaires from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, India, and the US are reportedly among potential buyers, along with a number of international luxury hospitality companies. Viewings are due to begin later this month.

Neither Dils CEO Giuseppe Amitrano nor the spokesperson for the Berlusconi family holding company has so far commented on the report.

Villa Certosa is a 110-hectare estate on Sardinia’s northeastern coast. It has 68 rooms, along with direct access to the Mediterranean Sea, several swimming pools and tennis courts, four bungalows, a gym, a greenhouse, and an amphitheater.

Berlusconi, who died last June, acquired the property in the late 1980s and completely rebuilt and enlarged it. He went on to host many prominent politicians at the estate, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, Former US President and War Criminal George Bush and ex-UK War Criminal Bloody British Bastard Prime Minister Tony Blair.

The Berlusconi family owns multiple properties in Italy and abroad. According to media reports, Villa Certosa is among several estates that will go on sale in the near future, as their upkeep has become increasingly expensive. Some properties, however, will remain in the family, with ownership divided among Berlusconi’s five children.

Coined two decades ago, “Blue Zones” is currently dominating the wellness world with a trending Netflix series and feature in @NYTimes about it seeping into American culture from real estate to groceries including our client @LangersJuice mentioned in the article. 

The launch of Langers' Blue Zones-inspired products comes alongside the Netflix docuseries, “Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones." The series is hosted by National Geographic Explorer and @BlueZones Founder Dan Buettner, who identified the cultures of the world – or blue zones – with the healthiest, longest-living populations. To date, the expeditions unveiled the highest numbers of healthy centenarians in Okinawa, Japan; Sardinia, Italy; Ikaria, Greece; Nicoya, Costa Rica; and Loma Linda, California, a suburban town just 45 miles from the Langer family’s farms and headquarters.

The second-generation, family-owned brand was started by Nathan Langer, a man who lived with purpose – his hands in the soil and heart in the community. Langer’s legacy is not just about providing pure fruit juices to American households, but it's also in alignment with the lifestyle habits of the world’s healthiest, longest-living people in the Earth's blue zones: moving naturally, knowing your purpose, eating lots of fruit and vegetables, and drinking tea. To celebrate the unique areas that share these characteristics, Langers launched a Bergamot Black Unsweetened Tea and a Green & Jasmine Unsweetened Tea infused with nourishing ingredients traditionally enjoyed in the blue zones longevity hotspots of Ikaria, Greece and Okinawa, Japan.

Fifa World Cup Qatar 2022, Italians do it better: Mirko Negri e Nello Simioli dirigono il Qetaifan Beach Festival

Nonostante la nostra Nazionale non si sia qualificata per i Mondiali in Qatar, gli italianissimi Mirko Negri e Nello Simioli sono stati chiamati "last second" a Doha, per seguire la direzione del Qetaifan Beach Festival e del super esclusivo luxury lifestyle beach club costruito al suo interno.

 Mirko Negri e Nello Simioli sicuramente non hanno bisogno di presentazioni quando si parla di gestioni di progetti di alto profilo. Innumerevoli sono le direzioni di conclamato successo di cui si sono occupati, negli ultimi 20 anni. Volendo citarne solo alcune, ricordiamo lo strepitoso successo di Phi Beach a Baja Sardinia, Nikki Beach in Costa Smeralda, durante la Mostra del Cinema e a Miami nel corso della Winter Music Conference, Sottovento e Billionaire a Porto Cervo, gli eventi collaterali organizzati a Venezia, sia durante il Film Festival che per Il Carnevale in Piazza San Marco, il GAMF (Golfo Aranci Music Festival) con oltre 60mila spettatori scatenati sulle note dei dj più famosi del mondo e poi Fino Beach, Yacht Club Porto Rotondo, oltre 20 edizioni del Festival di Sanremo dove hanno gestito le lounge più esclusive, le direzioni di resort 5 Stelle...

In questa occasione, ad appena un mese dalla chiusura del Cone Club in Costa Smeralda, "pettinatissimo" Beach Club, realizzato nel contesto del 7Pines Sardinia, il nuovo resort 5s aperto quest'anno in Costa Smeralda, l'affiatatissimo duo è stato chiamato in Qatar per supervisionare il Qetaifan Beach Festival, in occasione dei Mondiali di Calcio Fifa 2022. 

Per parlare di questa nuova avventura abbiamo raggiunto telefonicamente Mirko e Nello a Doha, per farci raccontare la genesi di questo progetto...

 "Siamo stati contattati solo ad inizio ottobre, ma noi amiamo metterci in gioco continuamente, e più sono difficili le sfide, più le accettiamo con coraggio ed entusiasmo. Detto ciò, è stato facile dire sì ad una occasione così importante. Quindi ci siamo messi al lavoro e in sole 2 settimane, abbiamo creato una squadra composta da 70 professionisti, per la maggior parte italiani, organizzando voli, trasferimenti, permessi di lavoro, hospitality e ogni altro aspetto organizzativo e burocratico, affinché il nostro team potesse arrivare a Doha secondo le date predeterminate".

Come sta andando questa avventura? 

"Per le tempistiche strettissime è stata un'impresa non facile, ma grazie al nostro network ed alla credibilità conquistata in tanti anni di gestioni e direzioni di successo, abbiamo raccolto immediatamente grande partecipazione ed entusiasmo da parte di tutti i professionisti coinvolti. Del nostro team fanno parte esperti imprenditori del segmento Events & Entertainment/F&B/Luxury Lifestyle Hospitality come Luca Pizzi, Gio' Verri, Salvatore Staiano, Mirco Lattaruolo, Maurizio Santoni, Daniele Gazzano e tanti altri professionisti che da anni lavorano con grande successo in tutto il mondo".

Ci date qualche altro dettaglio sulla vostra nuova iniziativa? 

"Siamo veramente orgogliosi di aver creato questa meravigliosa 'mean machine' che in così poco tempo ha saputo prendere in mano il controllo del progetto, dettando tempi, regole e strategie.  L'area dove si trova il Qetaifan Beach Festival ha un'estensione enorme ma tutto è curato nei minimi particolari ed è figlio di un progetto real estate a più ampio respiro, frutto di una joint venture tra Marriot, UMusic, UVentures, Zeg Design e Madaeen Al Doha Group. L'arena puo' contenere fino a 30.000 persone, il Beach Club può ospitare sino a 2500 selezionatissimi ospiti. Sino al 18 dicembre, giorno di chiusura dei mondiali, avremo ospiti numerosi artisti provenienti da tutte le parti del globo e anche dj sessions di French Montana, Ryan Castro, Oxlade,Alex Sensation, CeeLo Green, lo stesso Simioli e tanti altri... È stata una vera e propria "opera magna" che solo grazie alla nostra passione ed esperienza siamo riusciti a realizzare. Ne siamo sinceramente orgogliosi e come dicono gli americani il bello è che... the best is yet to come.

Capo Caccia, Sardegna 💙

Transform old roadman houses into hotels and restaurants— at the service of road customers. Mic

The Mic has decided to allocate 650 million euros to restore, enhance and reuse part of Italian real estate assets that have dotted the Italian statehouses since 1800, from north to south. The heritage is made up of roadman houses. The Case Cantoniere selected by Anas will become places for promoting local products, infopoints with wifi, restaurants, hostels, bars, and charging stations for electric cars.

AGI - In Sweden, accommodation facilities appear to be very accessible to road users and tourists alike. With old railway toll booths on disused railroad stretches transformed into small hotels or restaurants, with old wagons on dead tracks. Or sailing ships and Röda Båten (Red Boat) in the Riddarfjärden Bay of Lake Mälaren, in Stockholm, seems a perfect match used to broaden the accommodation on offer.

And in Italy? What about the red roadside houses located throughout the territory. Will they become the prop of a new enhancement thanks to new intended uses in a structured way.

Will they be safeguarding the good of one and all? Still, they're remaining in a derelict state as an example of a disused station.

Goal: transform the former buildings managed by Anas into restaurants, hotels, and places dedicated exclusively to hospitality. And what before seemed to be a dutiful civil commitment today becomes a fair economic resource.

So the Ministry of Culture - MIC - has decided to allocate 650 million euros of appropriations to restore the heritage made up of rural buildings.

It affects farmhouses, cottages, disused agricultural deposits made available in the light of facilitating private initiative without particular restrictions of use.

This phase of restoration of abandoned state-owned structures is a pertinent challenge towards an international and national reality seeing them as new resources - not as a burden on society - but as inclusive, innovative, and reflective new businesses that respond to ever-changing demand.

However, this is not a new recovery project. In 2016, the collaboration between former Mibact, Anas, and the State Property brought to locate 650 roadside houses to recover. Those were part of total assets of over 1.200 structures into service since 1830. All, as well-recorded and verified by the Royal Decree of the former Kingdom of Sardinia, gives shape and momentum to the future through slow and sustainable tourism distributed throughout the Penisula.

During the first selection, approximately thirty buildings were assigned, which have already yielded very appreciable results -

But now, the assignment is more consistent. Anas's announcement through the Official Gazette affects many Italian regions, including Sardinia, with nearly 30 buildings to assign, Lombardy 12, Abruzzo 10, Tuscany, and Lazio, with 7 houses each.

Companies of different types and levels have put forward 41% of the expressions of interest received. Follow shares between 31% by private individuals and 15% by public administrations and civil protection. In comparison, only 8% involve associations and cooperatives, and just 5% relate to farms. The technical-economic proposals must be received online, accompanied by the required documentation, on the ANAS purchasing portal, by June 15, 2021.

There is only one commitment to transform the buildings. The potentials operators have to maintain the characteristic Pompeian red color. By tradition, it has always been typical of roadmen houses. And the purpose is to make them easily identifiable and discernible as hospitality reference points along roads of the beautiful country and road users as many services as possible, in line with EU standards, to support mobility and traffic, including sustainable ones.

According to Mic and Anas, this measure will revitalize the local economy and its business microsystems. But primarily encouraging the so-called “quality diffused tourism” and characteristic of which there is now great internal and foreign demand as well as offer road users as many services as possible

EVERGREEN BEAUTY OF OUR PRODUCTS

The principle advantage of marble and other natural stone in a bathroom is that it makes a bold statement of elegance and style. In centuries past, the stone was chosen as a building material because of its strength and durability, but in today’s construction, there are other building materials that offer better strength and nearly equal durability—as well as lower cost. What hasn’t changed—and probably never will, since marble and other natural stone exist in limited supplies—is that natural stone symbolizes exclusivity and style.

AMPLIFY THE APPEAL OF YOUR SPACE

Aesthetically, every quarry in the world has a slightly different form of stone, and even within the same quarry, individual slabs of stone will have slightly different veining and coloring. This means that a floor, countertop, or wall surface made of marble or another natural stone will always have a completely unique look that is different from every other bathroom in the world.

The fact that natural stone is both expensive and unique means that using marble or other natural stone in your home almost automatically improves its resale value. Real estate agents will virtually always point out the presence of natural stone when selling a home, and prospective buyers always view it as a strong positive.

In terms of modern interior design, the use of natural stone in bathrooms and spas is not limited to the floors and countertops.

The Unique and Beautiful Granite Stones By Bhandari Marble Group

Granite can be found the world over; however, specific regions will sometimes offer their own unique granite with colors and captivating patterns that are native to those areas. The difference is due to the mineral make-up of the region. Granite is made up of quartz, feldspar, and micas. The color and quantity of these components determine the color, pattern, and even strength of each specific type of granite. The mineral feldspar is the primary influence of the color and pattern of a slab. The characteristics of Indian geology result in uniquely colored stones, typically with dark green or yellowish tones.

The stone mining industry in India can be traced back to the first half of the 16th century; however, it was in the 1631s, when Italian immigrants discovered deposits of white marble near the town of Kishangarh which would become the center of the stone mining industry that solidified India place in the global granite marker. The Italians brought the knowledge of mining techniques, the equipment, as well as the experience and craftsmanship. Soon after, entrepreneurs began the search for new stone deposits. Explorers traveled from south to north. This eventually ended with the discovery of what we know as granite. Today, there are hundreds of colors of granite mined in India from quarries across the country.

Quality countertops should be around 15 to 30 mm thick in order to provide the necessary durability associated with natural stone. Take a close look at granite to see if you notice any dings, dents, scratches, or uneven surfaces.

The first way to match granite to your counters is to choose granite that’s the same color as your cabinets but with darker veining. For example, white cabinets look gorgeous with White Spring granite, which has veins of grey, black, and brown.

Granite Countertops became popular lately. It is because granite is one of the most functional building materials in the world. The processing of this material has been revolutionized in the last years with improvements in diamond cutting tools.

In the late ’80s, granite technology improved and made granite an affordable raw slab material.  Granite is abundant in India, Brazil, Norway, and India as well as the island of Sardinia. Black, blue pearl, and green pearl granites were some of the few varieties.

Granite is very resistant to heat and stains

Due to its ability to absorb heat and resist scratching and staining, granite is the most popular material in most kitchen and bath countertops and vanity tops, both residential and commercial. In addition to most residential granite countertops, it is also popular among hotel owners in bathroom vanity tops.

Most granite countertops come in sizes up to your requirements. These sizes make it quite functional to use as a seamless piece of material in kitchens for countertops and kitchen islands.

Popular Granite Colors

Some of the most popular granite colors include absolute black, tan brown, chestnut brown, blue pearl, and marina pearl.  Recent discoveries in India brought a lot of unusual granite colors to the market that looks like marble with the big broad open veins. These granites such as the Taj Mahal and the various quartzites’ from India are very popular among kitchen designers.

Installing granite countertops must be done by a professional fabricator. Fabricators are qualified and licensed stone cutting companies. In order to cut granite, one has to have a wet saw with diamond blades as well as skilled craftsmen to finish the edges. Cutting and polishing granite countertops are extremely hard and you must have proper tools.

Installing Granite Countertops

Installing granite countertops in residential applications is relatively easy as qualified companies can do it usually in 1 week. First, existing countertops are removed, then, a template of the new material is taken and fabricated, and finally, the granite countertop is installed.

You can also choose various forms of granite for the kitchen backsplash to go on top of the granite countertops. You can use leftover pieces of granite, if so desired, by putting your backsplash on top of the countertop. Another option is using a different type of water jet mosaics and/or different types of ceramic tiles to go in between the space between the kitchen countertop and the cabinets. This space is called backsplash.

How to select granite countertops

Step one is to have your kitchen cabinet samples.

Step two is to go to a slab yard, or slab wholesaler, that carries a wide variety of granite countertops.

Step three is to try to coordinate your granite countertop along with your kitchen cabinet sample and flooring material.

Most granite countertop materials or slabs are displayed vertically on what’s called a frame. It may be difficult to visualize a horizontal surface-displayed vertically. It is recommended to have your kitchen layout in order to coordinate the available slabs along with your available sizes and matching the veins if there are any. We recommend visiting the slab yard shortly before your kitchen cabinets go in.

Most slab yards will not hold slabs for long periods of time; therefore do not make your final selection months ahead of time. You may have to pay a separate visit to your fabricator and have your firm kitchen layout face taped on the actual slab to visualize how the piece will look in your kitchen. You should also have some idea about the type of edgework and sink cut out you desire.

Granite Countertops

There are two types of kitchen sink cutouts. The first option is dropped in and the second is under-mount. Under-mount is more expensive but easier to use. Most wholesalers will not quote you an actual price. You will have to get a price from your fabricator. Slab yards will tell you a price range in terms of low, medium, high, exotic, and high exotic. To most consumers, these are meaningless. However, your fabricator will be able to translate this into an actual quote depending on your kitchen. There are risks involved by the fabricator in carrying the slab and they will have to absorb the waste of cutting. You may also have some leftover pieces from your kitchen countertops. You can use these leftover pieces as a cutting board and/or depending on the piece, you may frame it and use it as an art piece in your kitchen.

How to seal granite countertops

Step one is to clean the granite with a soft sponge and the natural stone cleaner.

Step two is to apply the granite countertop sealer evenly and throughout the surface. Wait for it to dry a little bit and, if necessary, apply a second coat of sealer until the stone absorbs it. We recommend using a good quality sealer like Fila.

Step three is to clean the surface with a good, dry cloth and remove all debris and the excess sealer.

What are some of the advantages of granite countertops?

Ability to observe heat

Unlike other building materials or countertop materials, you can put most hot plates or pans on top of a granite countertop without damaging the stone.

Ability to resist scratching

Granite is one of the hardest materials in the world and, therefore, it is extremely difficult to scratch it, particularly darker colors which are extremely hard. In most typical kitchen applications, such as using a knife on your countertop or cutting and using other pots and pans, it is difficult to scratch most granite countertops. Please check with a licensed fabricator in order to warrant the uses of Granite countertops.

Ability to resist staining

One must caution that some of the lighter color countertops may absorb water and look wet immediately after use. However, it will dry after a small period of time. We recommend sealing all-natural surface materials, including granite, after installation, and throughout its life from time to time to prevent staining. Darker color granites are almost impossible to stay in everyday use.

Why Feuilly cares about Italy or “a lot of words to explain Hugo’s crush on Garibaldi”

Part one: The rebellions of ’20- ‘21

In this club of young Utopians, occupied chiefly with France, he represented the outside world. He had for his specialty Greece, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Italy. He uttered these names incessantly, appropriately and inappropriately, with the tenacity of right. The violations of Turkey on Greece and Thessaly, of Russia on Warsaw, of Austria on Venice, enraged him.

Hugo’s description of Feuilly in the brick underlines how important it was, for our favorite fan-maker, the concept of self-determination of peoples or, more probably seeing that the concept of self-determination was better developed after the First World War, the concept of independence from an alien power.  

I, unfortunately, don’t know much about the history of Hungary, Romania and Poland and my knowledge of Greece’s history is not at all perfect, but I know enough of Italian history to explain to you why Feuilly (and consequently, I’d dare say, Hugo himself) would care about this boot-shaped country and its independence. 

1807-1815: the Napoleonic period and the origin of the Carboneria

I think the best way to start this is with the Napoleonic wars (and isn’t this ironic?): after the Napoleonic campaigns in Italy and the conquest of both the north and the south of the peninsula (not the Church’s State which was situated roughly in the center), hopes of independence and diffusion of liberal laws and Constitution started blooming all over the country. Especially the intellectual élites were very favorable to a liberal shift of the Italian politics and between 1807 and 1808 in the South of Italy, particularly in Naples, under the reign of Gioacchino Murat, brother-in-law of Napoleon, a secret society was created whose intents were the introduction of more liberal laws, the creation of a Constitution and the independence from the French Empire; this secret society was called Carboneria.

Still, the idea of a united and independent country didn’t exist yet. Italy had never been united since the Roman Empire shattered and it didn’t exist a real “Italian sentiment” or the idea of an Italian People (the existence of an Italian identity could be the subject of a whole other post so just let me tell you that even to these days we have some problem with the concept of unity).

1815-1820: the Restauration and some Italian geopolitics

The new order designed by the Austrian Chancellor Metternich had excluded any concession to liberals and separatists. In accordance with the principle of legitimacy, the absolute rulers of the entire peninsula had returned to their thrones, determined to repress any attempt at insurrection or simple innovation.

So, how looked Italy after the Congress of Vienna? 

Like this.

There were four major states: the Reign of Sardinia (the light orange one) which contained also the County of Nizza and the Principality of Monaco, ruled by the Savoia family, the Church’s State (weird yellow one) ruled, yes you guessed it, by the Pope, the Reign of Lombardo-Veneto (green one) which was part of the Austrian Empire, and the Reign of the Two Sicilies (beige one) ruled by the Bourbon family, a branch of the Bourbon family that also reigned in France and Spain.

Beside these major states there was also the Grand Duchy of Tuscany (purple one) ruled by the Habsburg-Lorena, a branch of the Habsburg-Lorena ruling in the Austrian Empire, and four Duchy: the Duchy of Parma and Piacenza, also ruled by a branch of the Asburgo-Lorena family, the Duchy of Modena and Reggio, ruled by the Habsburg-Este, a branch of both the Habsburg family and Este family, the Duchy of Massa and Carrara ruled by the Este family, and the Duchy of Lucca ruled by a branch of the Bourbon family (all of the Duchies are between the Reign of Sardinia and the Reign of Lombardo-Veneto and above the Grand Duchy of Tuscany).

Why is it important? Because it shows pretty clearly under which sphere of influence Italy was: the Congress of Vienna had given the Austrian Empire a lot of power and influence over Italy with an anti-France (represented by the Bourbon family) intent.

The Pope was a highly regarded and recognized power in Italy, but the Church’s State wasn’t considered a threat by the European powers.

And the Savoia family? No one cared about them at the time, but keep them in mind because they are going to become a LOT more important.

The modalities of the Restoration had disappointed both the liberal élites and the popular classes, but the Carboneria was incapable to expand its ranks and was subject to continuous surveillance by the various police forces. In the South of Italy and in the Church’s States, even existed reactionary secret societies born with the aim of fighting the Carboneria by killing its members or delivering them to the authorities. For these reasons, in the first years that followed the Restoration, the Carboneria was almost completely incapable of organizing revolutionary actions and the impulse for the riots of 1820 did not come from national societies but from the Spanish revolution and the restoration of the Constitution of Cadiz.

1820-1821: the birth and death of the first rebellions

The first state where the constitutional revolt spread was the Reign of the Two Sicilies. For dynastic reasons, Ferdinand I was both the king of the Two Sicilies and the heir to the throne of Spain and in that capacity, he was called to swear loyalty to the constitution brought into force by his nephew Ferdinand VII. The signature by the king of Naples (Naples was the capital of the Reign of the Two Sicilies) awakened the southern liberal world and in particular the Carboneria which, however, was divided into two opposing factions:  the first was formed by radical and egalitarian elements; the second, which gathered senior officers who had previously fought with Murat and rich bourgeois, gathered around General Guglielmo Pepe. A third minority current, headed by the Jacobin noble Orazio de Attellis, was even more radical as it wanted the proclamation of the republic and an agrarian reform that divided the estates among the poor farmers (and don’t let me start on how important an agrarian reform was for the South of Italy, but believe me it would have been a game changer).

On June 15, 1820 the independence movement of Sicily rose up in Palermo (the capital of the island) led by Giuseppe Alliata of Villafranca. A government was established in Palermo (18-23 June), presided by Giovanni Luigi Moncada, prince of Paternò. On 16 July the Sicilian Parliament was convened and the Sicilian Constitution of 1812 was restored.

On July 2, 1820 the radical wing started and lead the uprising of Nola and managed to force Ferdinand I to grant the Spanish constitution, but was soon overtook by the moderate wing. General Pepe became the main figure of the constitutional government and the nobles who supported him begun to show impatience towards the Carboneria and in the new-born Parliament, the representants of the secret society were only a small minority.

On July 23 a delegation was sent to the revolutionary government of Naples to demand the restoration of the Kingdom of Sicily, albeit always under a Bourbon guide, of the constitution, and of its own parliament. The Neapolitan government refused and sent an army under the orders of General Pepe who on September 22 reached an agreement with the Sicilian government: the decision to establish a Parliament was given to the representatives of the municipalities that were about to be elected. This agreement though was rejected by the newly elected parliament in Naples. Pepe was recalled and, in his place, was sent General Pietro Colletta who reconquered Sicily and re-established the monarchy, putting the island under the control of the Neapolitan constitutional government.

The internal struggles were not the greatest problem for the new constitutional state: Ferdinando I had granted the constitution, but only because he was forced and didn’t intend to favor the constitutional regime, plus Austria and the powers that had defeated Napoleon were more than ever determined not to allow a new revolutionary wave.

A congress of the Holy Alliance was convened in Ljubljana and Ferdinando I invoked an armed intervention to restore order in Naples. An Austrian expeditionary force led by General Frimont crossed the peninsula and, in the Battle of the Gole di Antrodoco (March 7, 1821), overwhelmed the defenses of the constitutional government. Ferdinando I returned in his capital as absolute sovereign and, while a wave of escapes and exiles pushed the Neapolitan liberals in the various European capitals, two officers responsible for the uprising of Nola in July 1820, Michele Morelli and Giuseppe Silvati, were rudely captured, summarily judged and executed on September 12, 1822.

The second revolutionary episode in Italy concerned the Reign of Sardinia where, at the beginning of 1821, some students’ demonstrations of an anti-Habsburg sentiment received the unofficial solidarity of Prince Carlo Alberto of Savoia. Following the southern rebellion, also the Carbonari and the Piemonte’s liberals decided to move, counting on the fact that the Austrian troops in Italy, engaged on the Neapolitan front, could not march directly on Turin (capital of the Reign of Sardinia) and would have later found themselves between two fires.

Santorre di Santarosa, a military member of the Carboneria, repeatedly contacted Carlo Alberto himself and several Sardinian army generals and, despite the ambiguous attitude of the prince, a military pronouncement was set for March 10, 1821.

King Vittorio Emanuele I of Savoia, rather than granting the constitution of 1812 as requested by the military, preferred to abdicate in favor of his brother Carlo Felice who was a champion of absolutism and explicitly opposed to any constitution. Carlo Felice, though, was on a visit to Modena, so, the prince Carlo Alberto was called to assume the regency. He complied with the demands of the insurgents and appointed Santarosa as minister of war in the provisional government.

Even in Piemonte, the revolutionary movement is divided and, if Santarosa is comparable, for political positions, to the most moderate members of southern liberalism, elements such as Michele Gastone and Carlo Bianco, advocate more radical measures.

Just a week after the explosion of the rebellion, however, the sudden return of Carlo Felice to Turin radically changed the political scenario and put an end to the uprising: the new king revoked the constitution, erased the work of his nephew and relegated him to Novara.

Santarosa tried to continue the Revolution and, from his position as Minister of War, opened the hostilities with the Austrian Empire. The attempt was unsuccessful: a small contingent of Habsburg troops entered Piemonte’s territory and defeated and dispersed the few troops who had agreed to follow Santarosa. Expecting that Carlo Felice would have started a repression and to be among the designated victims, Santarosa decided to save himself by fleeing and repairing in France.

Even in the absence of a real rebellion, the repression of the Carboneria also affected the Lombardo-Veneto and, in particular, the Milanese group (Milan was the principal city of Lombardia one of the regions of the Lombardo-Veneto) gathered around the scientific-literary magazine “Il Conciliatore” (= The Conciliator), created by the musician Pietro Maroncelli, the writer Silvio Pellico and the Count Federico Confalonieri. Discovered because of the interception by the political police of some letters by Maroncelli, the Milanese Carbonari were arrested one after the other and sentenced to death. The sentence was then commuted into prison for life.

From the political point of view, the rebellions of 1820-1821 ended with a complete failure in Italy: all the absolute kings remained in power (if we don’t count the abdication of Carlo Alberto in Piemonte who was replaced by an even more absolutist king) and all the constitutions granted during the rebellions were dismissed and forgotten. The situation in Italy was identical to its situation after the Congress of Vienna.
