November 1849 CE

Victor Emmanuel II governs Piedmont with a parliament whose democratic majority refuses to ratify the peace treaty with Austria.

This is an exception to the general course of reaction.

The skillfully worded Proclamation of Moncalieri, issued on November 20, 1849, favorably contrasts Victor Emmanuel's policies with those of other Italian rulers and permits elections.

The victorious liberals install a new cabinet under Massimo d'Azeglio, a moderate trusted by the king.

D'Azeglio introduces the Siccardi law, which curtails the power of ecclesiastical courts.
