The 1 line. For several centuries, Italy was divided into parts, which were owned at different times by Spain, France, Austria, Prussia, etc. Only in 1861 Italy united. Its first monarch, according to the will of the people, was Victor Emmanuel II (1820-1878). Prior to unification, he was king of the Sardinian Kingdom (Piedmont) from 1849. He made great efforts to unite the country.

The 2 line. At the beginning of the XIX century, the Apennine peninsula was divided into 8 states. Thanks to successful military operations against Austria in 1860 Victor Emmanuel annexed the duchies of Modena, Tuscany, Parma to Sardinia. A significant contribution to the unification of Italy was made by the Prime minister of Sardinia, Camillo Cavour, as well as the famous freedom fighter Giuseppe Garibaldi. In 1859 he could to raise the people under his banners and free Sicily and Naples from the French. These lands also came under the authority of Victor Emmanuel. As a result of the peace treaty in 1862 France transmit Venice to Italy. Rome for 9 more years remained in the state of the pope. Only in 1871 he became the capital of a united Italy. In the history of Italy, this king entered as a great fighter for the unification of the country.

Linkage with other quatrains: 5.44, 8.31.

Probable decoding of number 4.77. If 7 consider as 700 then 700-74=626, flip 6 in 9, 9-1=8; by swapping 26 in 62 we will get 862 – the year liberation of Italy from the last invaders.
