During the Italian unification, Garibaldi completed the unification of Southern Italy. I've read several resources, but I'm still unclear of how he accomplished that. Did he simply invade Sicily, Naples, and the Papal States? As well, I read somewhere that Sicily was not given to Piedmont. But Sicily became part of Italy, did it not?
