1847 CE

Italian rulers influenced by the pope's liberalism introduce reforms.

Especially important is the Tuscan press law of 1847, by which Grand Duke Leopold II removes most forms of political censorship.

The reforms encourage extremism, however, and the reactionary powers of Europe become convinced that the stability of Italy is in jeopardy.
