Subject: Military Conscription in Pre-Unification Italy

Can anyone tell me about military conscription in pre-Unification
Italy? Did it exist in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies or in the Papal
States? Or did these countries depend entirely on recruitment? I know
that all Italian males born after Unification were liable to two years
active military service.

My great-grandfather served in the Papal Army and was at the Porta Pia
(1870). I would like to know if he was conscripted or if his service
was voluntary.

All help would be greatly appreciated.

Mille grazie in anticipo,

What year did the Unification take place requiring all Male Italians to serve in Military Service? My grandfather was born in Italy in 1883. I have a picture of one of the family in a Military uniform, and wondered about the Military in Italy. Is there a sight with pictures of Uniforms according to time slots?
Thanks for any answers,
Gayla Voss

From The Cork Examiner, 8 March 1865 -

The capital sentence is to be commuted in the case of Polliono,
the Italian.
