Italy's View of Prussia

One of the goals of the Congress of Vienna was to split up Italy and its states. While Prussia did not end up getting any of these, they still had an affect on the results. Prussia was a major power at the Congress of Vienna and did have some control on the way things turned out. So, they influenced where states like Sicily went. Prussia did have interest some interest in getting Italian states, but failed. So, the Italians were not on too bad terms with the Prussians. In fact, not too long after the Congress, Italy and Prussia became allies in what is known as the Pursso-Italian alliance.
