Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The problems that were faced during the time of the unification were the Austrian occupation of Lombardy and Venice. Also, the land still belonged to the Pope and not the government which meant that it did not really belong to everyone and didn’t symbolize unification.

Detailed explanation-2: -Italy failed to reach a nationalized Italy in large due to the lack of unity between the middle and working class.

Detailed explanation-3: -Inspired by the rebellions in the 1820s and 1830s against the outcome of the Congress of Vienna, the unification process was precipitated by the revolutions of 1848, and reached completion in 1871, when Rome was officially designated the capital of the Kingdom of Italy.

Detailed explanation-4: -The attempt to unify Italy as a single nation was difficult because of the barriers of foreign intervention, disunity among Italians, and the lack of a strong national consciousness. Italy was divided into eight political states in 1815 after the Napoleonic Wars.
