The introductory page of my book that is as follows:
The riots and revolutions of 1848 both inside and outside of the Austro-Hungarian Empire had been shaken European nations deeply. The Five Days in Milan on 18-22 March 1848 forced Austria to leave the city and thus began a provisional government that lasted until the defeat of the Piedmontese army, led by Carlo Alberto, Custoza in July 1848 and the subsequent entry in Milan the Austrian troops at the beginning of August. At the head of these troops was Field Marshal Radetzky, who will maintain a state of siege on the city until 1853.
Then in the year after, it gradually returned to normal until the visit of Emperor Franz Joseph in Milan in 1857, which led to the first indulgence of the political prisoners and the removal of Radetzky. It will then be the last time with the new governor, the ariduca Maximilian, that Austria will seek to recover Milan and Lombardy and Veneto to keep it within their empire.
Milan are still living the past eleven years, the return of Radetzky's troops in August 1848, after five days, until the Austrian defeat in the war against France and Piedmont In June 1859, as inserted in the big city Austro-Hungarian Empire. These were difficult years, both because of the riot Five days is recent, and because the new ideals of nationality, freedom and social emancipation are increasingly investing large sections of the nobility and the people of borrghesia minute.
It 's a time lived with the tribulations of the population and the Austrian troops who do not feel more accepted, but even poorly tolerated by the citizens of Milan. It will have no outcome the final attempt of Austria to recover with the reforms for the people of Milan and Lombardy-Veneto.
It is too later, no time and with the defeat of Austria in the War of 1859, Milan will definitely be part of the Kingdom of Italy.
