This controversy, famous like "roman issue", had opened between 1860 and 1870, when the papacy, with the birth of the Italian State, was forced to renounce to its dominion on the Lazio, the Umbria, the Marches and the Romagna (the regions, that is, that they formed the ancient State of the Church). When the Italian troops entered in Rome (the 20 september 1870) Pope Pio IX, thinking itself victim of a usurpazione, withdrew itself in the palaces of the Vatican.
