Piedmont

Who ruled Piedmont?

The wealthy region of Lombardy and 14 other provinces in the nearby regions of Emilia-Romagna, Veneto and Piedmont have been locked down in efforts to stop the spread of COVID-19.

As it was, Greece had no 'Piedmont' with which to begin her Unification – no Piedmont to make alliances with other states, no Piedmontese bureaucracy and diplomatic service, no well-equipped and well-supplied regular army.

The rise of an independent Bulgarian state challenged the view of many Serbs that they were the "Piedmont" of the Balkans, the ones to unify all Balkan Slavs.

The more influental National Democratic party was founded in 1899, and it hoped to work through existing channels in Austria to create a separate Ukrainian province of eastern Galicia, which someday might become the Piedmont of an independent Ukrainian state on both sides of the Austro-Russian border.
