When Napoleon III was younger, in 1831, he participated with his brother in the revolutionary uprisings in the Papal States, fighting against the Papal and Austrian troops. When he managed to become Emperor of France, all of this seemed to be part of a forgotten past, but the Carbonari considered him a traitor for not pursuing the objectives of the society now that he had a position of power. So the Carbonari, ruled by Mazzini from London, organized an assassination attempt on his life by the Carbonari member Felice Orsini in 1858. He threw three grenades at Napoleon's carriage. The attack caused a massacre, with 8 dead and 156 wounded, but Napoleon III was protected by the carriage, which had been providentially armored by the manufacturer with steel plates, and therefore remained unharmed, as did the Empress Eugenie, even though she was thrown onto the pavement and completely covered in the blood of the victims. There was a trial, and Orsini was sentenced to death.
Before his execution, Orsini wrote letters urging Napoleon III to intervene on behalf of Italy ("Until Italy is independent, the tranquility of Europe and yours will be nothing but a chimera."). The event and the threats shook the emperor and spurred him to take concrete action: he allied with the Prime Minister of Piedmont, the Freemason Cavour, and they secretly met to organize a war against Austria-Hungary, which controlled Northern Italy at the time. Piedmont would annex Northern Italy, and in exchange, it would give Savoy and Nice to France, and the Carbonari would no longer pose a threat to Napoleon's safety. This happened; Austria-Hungary was defeated, and Piedmont was in control of Northern Italy.
