 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Piedmont
The Government again sought to base the administration on the old political principles of the period before the French Revolution, while a large part of the citizens of the country were filled with ideas of political independence and Liberalism, and the revolutionary secret society, the Carbonari, was at work.
When the Island of Sardinia was granted to Piedmont in 1720 a new conflict arose, as the pope claimed to be the sovereign of the island.
Both the Liberal movement and the intrigues of the revolutionary party in Piedmont were in every way inimical to the Church.

And in the far northwest was Piedmont, a part of the Kingdom of Sardinia, a liberal constitutional monarchy, and a haven for Italian nationalists who had been involved in 1848-49 upheavals.
But the war had given hope to urban masses down the Italian peninsula, who rose up against foreign rule, these Italians going into the streets, chanting "foreigners out of Italy," and chanting for "Victor Emmanuel," the king of Piedmont-Sardinia, whom they wanted as their king.
Like Walachia and Moldavia, Italy was impacted by the Crimean War.

 The Italian Empire
Sardinia's eventual secession from North Italy in 1978 only symbolized the extent to which the Italian state had decomposed.
The Piedmontese kingdom, controlling the island of Sardinia, historical Piedmont, Lombardy, Venetia-Trentino, and the Roman Province, was unquestionably the dominant state in the Italian Empire, as the motor of Italian unification.
The Italian State Treaty of 1973 transformed the rump Italian Empire into a federation of self-governing regions, some, like Venezia Fruilia-Guilia, adopting republican models of government, others, like Emilia, Lombardy, and Sardinia, became autonomous regions federated with Piedmont.

Despite his legal career and the inheritance of a substantial legal library from his maternal grandfather, Maistre's notebooks and early correspondence suggest that he was always much more interested in broad humanistic subjects such as philosophy, theology, politics, and history than in narrow legal questions.
His subsequent legal career included service as Regent (head of the court system) in Sardinia (1800-1803) and as Regent (justice minister) of Piedmont-Sardinia (1818-21).
He immediately fled to Piedmont with his wife and children, the only native Savoyard Senator to do so.

Following the restoration of European peace in 1815, Italy consisted of the Kingdom of Sardinia (Piedmont, Sardinia, Savoy, and Genoa); the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies (including Naples and Sicily); the Papal States; and Tuscany and a series of smaller duchies in north central Italy.

 Italian Wine Regions by WineCountry.it - Introduction to regional wine history
With 46 different DOC and four DOCG areas, Piedmont is the region that produces the largest number of best known, noble, and world-appreciated prize-winning wines, such as Barbera, Barolo, Barbaresco, Dolcetto, Nebbiolo, Grignolino, Malvasia and Asti Spumante among others.
The main difference between the regions is that Friuli-Venezia Giulia wines are mostly white, though some exceptional red can be found as well.
The Valtellina DOC zone, centered around the province of Sondrio, produces some of the most appreciated regional wines based largely on the local version of Nebbiolo, the Piedmont noble grape known here as Chiavannesca.
