Narrative: The Cabonari—a secret revolutionary society—used their activity in
the Neapolitan military to enact a bloodless coup against the rule of Ferdinand I
of the Two Sicilies. The revolution, which took place in July 1820, was successful
and brought about the transformation of the state from an absolute monarchy to a
constitutional monarchy based on the Spanish (1812) model. Most of conservative
post-Napoleon Europe grew concerned. Austria-Hungary, especially, feared that the
revolution in Naples would spread to the other Italian states. The Austrians decided on
a military intervention in the month of January 1821 and occupied Naples on March
- It quickly restored absolute rule. On April 7, the provisional government declared
all aspects of the government from July 2, 1820, to March 23, 1821, to be null and
void.
