Representatives met in Zurich in August and September to formalize the agreement to end the war between France, Piedmont-Sardinia, and Austria.

Piedmont-Sardinia received Lombardy but, to the great disappointment of Italian nationalism, other states like Venice or Tuscany remained under Austrian control or influence. (By John Osborne)
