Torino

Torino was the first capital of Italy, the second was Florence anf finally, after the Papal forces aided by the French were defeated on September 10, 1870, Rome became it's capital. This forced the pope to declare himself a prisoner of the Vatican. He should have remained one or better he should have bees sent packing to Avignon. But then Mussolini, needing the support of the Church, signed the Lateran


Treaty and he basically gave away the store but enough of the History lesson.
