Little story of annexation of Lombardy and Veneto

in 1860, many of “patriots” Carbonari who made the Risorgimento, that is, united Italy, were nothing more than police on a secret mission sent to subvert the established orders. Illuminating in this respect the memorial of a secret agent of Cavour.

Whatever the case, the Kingdom of Italy was born in 1861, but without Veneto (of which Friuli has always been part) instead remained under Austrian administration until the 1866.

The Lombardo Veneto was one of the family Habsburg realms related to many European nobles. Era the richest and most profitable territory of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and a fifth of its population gave to the third of state revenue share regime (very, but less than what it gives to Italy today!).

We can say that the standard of living was higher than the European average. L’ Austrian administration was efficient, and although it was not as that of the Venetian Republic, the low tax (about 10% ! ) It made it bearable to the nations. The public works, however, were carried out in what they now call “project-financing” that is, the debt of local communities.

All this meant that the Austrians, albeit not welcome, They were still borne by the people, also because many from Lombardy-Veneto worked in the state administration. The fact that the Habsburg administration was not very popular, and it was alien to the people of the place by language and traditions, is demonstrated by the revolutions of 1848, which however were not made for the unification of Italy, as the facts of the 1866.

At the same time it was clear to all, first the Austrians, that the welfare of which he enjoyed was primarily due to the Venetian Republic (that stretched down to the river Adda, over Bergamo), with its over 3 centuries of presence had formed all the factors that led to the birth of the first industrial axis. This well-being made of work and ability was therefore not a historical novelty, Rather, it had occurred several times in history since Venetia et Histria was the richest part of the Roman Empire .

Then in 1859 Lombardy was invaded by the French-Piedmontese (they were more French than anything else) and in violation of the Treaty of Zurich, Piedmont annexed it without even a plebiscite required by international law. Italy plundered Lombardy, and with the loot, in addition to clearing his own coffers, he began to invade the other states of Italy. He explains this in mind the fact that the Venetians, in 1861 still under Austria, they stayed good and did not seek annexation. On the other hand, there had been an improvement in the relationship with the administration, and social and economic well-it is seen now only a few hundred Austrian officials operate in the territory.

The intention of the Venetians not to become Italian was confirmed in 1866 when Austria was at war with Prussia which attacked it from the north. The Prussian army was powerful and Italy was linked to it by a pact of alliance. Italy in turn declared war on Austria but was defeated on land at Custoza and by sea at Lissa.. Italy was defeated by the Austro-Venetian navy, who spoke Venetian, and the ground troops mostly composed of Venetians , both obviously under the Austrian insignia

However, Austria did not win against Prussia, and so Italy made a shameful proposal: she offered to stop hostilities if Austria handed over the Veneto to her, betraying the pact with Prussia . Italy got the Veneto without fighting (with Friuli) , but actually, as I have found in historical documents, legally obtained the entire Lombardy-Veneto region, because until then he had illegally Lombardy.

On the one hand, Austria was forced to give up Veneto to concentrate on the war with Prussia, but he had already offered it to Italy even before the hostilities with Italy, which he refused, preferring the war which he then lost.

Austria at that point nevertheless did not want to give Lombardy-Veneto directly to the defeated, too humiliating for the people and for whom they had fought and won. He therefore gave the sovereignty of Lombardy-Veneto to France which undertook to guarantee that a plebiscite was held to ascertain the will of the peoples of Lombardy-Veneto to become “Italian”.

So the Treaty of Vienna 3 October 1866, the annexation had to be approved with the vote of all the populations of Lombardy-Veneto, and this is my discovery of 2007.

The Italian Government , which already controlled Lombardy since 1859, instead he entered the Veneto region illegally months before the vote, and organized the plebiscites herself, dictating the rules, upsetting the registers, using front men for the passage of cards, and with the police oppression that was possible given that they already controlled all the prefectures at the time of the vote. Incredibly he did vote for their soldiers, as small 16 years, which it was not allowed instead to the Venetian . This is also my discovery 2007.

The registers were so rigged that it was demonstrated that in a certain number of constituencies where voting was held, more votes were registered than voters entitled to vote., being who voted soldiers.
E’ It was verified that in many constituencies the votes were not even counted, and the annexation was declared without scrutiny.

People clearly was voting under the eyes of the police. Some prelates were arrested.

Now the question is lost if the fraud in the vote invalid LEGALLY the plebiscite. E’ certainly a political issue, but not legally invalidate the plebiscite.

What invalidates the annexation is the fact that Lombardy did not vote, and who voted Italian soldiers, as well as the Italian presence itself and the frontmen who falsified the transfer of sovereignty from France to the Italian puppet government.

The Italian official story goes that in 1866, a few months after the terrible battles, Veneto wanted to become Italian.

The documentary truth says instead that after having lost on land and at sea, Italy illegally took possession of Lombardy-Veneto which had defeated it, and who became Italian not voluntarily but because Italy violated international agreements, and forced the Venetians to suffer the military invasion of the same enemy they had defeated a few months earlier. And he also prevented Lombardy from voting.

That plebiscite was a fraud was known to all, already the ex-fascist journalist Montanelli defined the plebiscites as a “joke”, but no one has ever questioned the legality of Italian possession which instead depended on an international agreement . There was talk of some fraud. Point.

This was the case until 2007, when first, reading the memorial of the Italian Commissioner who managed the invasion, and reading the treatises, I demonstrated the VOID’ LEGAL, that is, legal, plebiscite, that is, the fact that Lombardy-Veneto is not legally subject to the Italian government, it is only in fact but in violation of the right of peoples which dates back to 1840.

The real story is different : Italy in 1866 He has brazenly violated the treaty by vote Lombardy, who also occupied militarily, but he not held with legal possession that had to be ratified, exactly, by plebiscite. And where there was a vote he had his soldiers vote, so we can say that not even the Venetians voted. And this is demonstrated by the small number of voters, equal to little more than the number of Italian soldiers.

I found the first fact that the Italian Government, NOT DOING VOTE over 60% of the Lombardo-Veneto population, committing breach of the Treaty, and since the treaty was violated, the annexation is still ILLEGAL and will remain so forever.

I update this page saying that probably following our appeals, Italy canceled the annexation of the 1866, so the question becomes: with what title does Italy govern Lombardy-Veneto?

Given this legal nullity of the annexation, indeed its legal nonexistence, Also subsequent elections or new ones can never confirm the status quo, because they are organized, then and now, a squatter for international law.

It is not possible to affirm this principle of Italy's incurable illegality otherwise than with the documents I have highlighted, because even if the very serious frauds were demonstrated, the annexation would have value , because de jure partial fraud does not make annexation illegal .

While they do the violations that I have shown in 2006 E 2007 WHO , WHO and elsewhere, as in my book. There is some idiot or some emissary who, to muddy the waters, says that I work for the Italian government, and it is clear that whoever says it does so for the sole benefit of Italy.

What to do then to return sovereign ?It is certainly the right of Lombardy-Veneto to return to a sovereign state or at least, if he wanted, have full self-government.

We will have to fight , but if there is international law (the Italian does not exist as demonstrated by the violation of the regional electoral law through the work of the government), then sooner or later this occupation will end and Lombardy-Veneto will have its freedom. It's not a question of IF, but how and when.

Many people have a neurotic reaction to reading these shocking truths. They invoke the fact that in the wars of barbarian peoples it has always been like this and that reasoning like this we should go back to ancient peoples.

As Veneto I can even accept this hyperbole, because we Venetians were present in the Venetian region already in 1200 A.C. , ie some 700 years before the Roman Empire was born, and then, coming as before any other people we are “aborigines” and the territory we have not stolen more than the sea, not to other people.

But today, however, many other values ​​must be taken into account. The historical lies told to justify the status quo does not have appointed a right, prevail instead human rights and peoples' rights, namely the principle of decolonization. Based on this many states they have had to set free those territories who ran like the rest of the State, which however were colonies. And so it will be for us if we know how to organize ourselves and not believe the lies of politicians.

Furthermore, Italy's economic failure forces us to look ahead. Confronted with Venetian history, which is the basis of modern European history, in front of us there remains a term of comparison that prevents the acceptance of the present. But you need to know your history, and not be enchanted or be fooled by those who say that the Venetians are those of the Veneto Region.

especially the “Rule of Law” systematically violated, and imposed by the Lisbon Treaty, confront us with new core values, European values, in front of which the unification of Italy only has to be ashamed. We can and must recall those values ​​such as respect for minorities to assert our identity as Venetians also and above all in front of Italy as well as Europe.

While we always Veneto we can look with confidence to the future if we remember what we have been and we are still.

There have been few civilizations longer-lived than ours, (in descending order of duration) only the Egyptians , the Persians, the Chinese and then the Venetians with the Venetian Republic. We already knew the Greeks and the Romans, the latter have saved them from the Celts.

But the Venetian civilization is the only one that essentially did not conquer the people with violence .

We have a different story, and we cannot accept the union on the basis ( for the first time they met hunger and pellagra in Venetie) he made tens of thousands die in useless wars designed specifically for “bask in the blood home”. Today it is called genocide.
