Tuscany sided with Sardinia in 1860, leading to its annexation by Piedmont-Sardinia prior to the Kingdom of Italy's formation.
In 1860, Tuscany, Modena, Parma, and Romagna decided to side with Sardinia. Sardinian forces marched victoriously in the Marche and Umbria after the victorious Battle of Castelfidardo over the Papal forces. These territories joined Piedmont-Sardinia, not yet the Kingdom of Italy.
