Italian provinces of Romagna, Emilia, and Tuscany begin voting on a plebiscite to decide their future

The provinces of Romagna, Emilia, and Tuscany began voting on a plebiscite over the question whether the area, which included the Duchies of Modena and Palma, should unite in a separate kingdom or request annexation to the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia.   Voting lasted for a week with the overwhelming results favoring annexation and the obvious progress towards a united Italy.
