The 20th September 1870 the “Bersaglieri Troupes” entered the City of Rome through Porta Pia, under the command of General Luigi Cadorna. Actually they broke through a breach in the “Mura Aureliane”, near Porta Pia.
At this point Pope Pio or Pius IX declared himself prisoner of The Vatican, and Rome became part of the Reign of Italy and was declared Capital. The day before Capital was Florence.
