Treaty of Zürich
The Treaty of Zürich, signed on 10 November 1859 by Austria, France and the Kingdom of Sardinia, ended the Second Italian War of Independence. It confirmed the preliminary peace of Villafranca: Austria ceded most of Lombardy to France, which passed it to Sardinia, while keeping Venetia. Its plans for an Italian confederation and the return of the central Italian rulers were overtaken by the annexations of 1860.
