The Sicilian revolution of independence of 1848 occurred in a year replete with revolutions and popular revolts. The Sicilian revolution of that year is significant for the following four reasons: 1. It commenced on 12 January 1848, and therefore was one of the first of the numerous revolutions to occur that year; 2. Four revolutions occurred on the island of Sicily between 1800 and 1849 against Bourbon rule, with this final one resulting in an independent state surviving for 16 months; 3.

The constitution that survived the 16 months was quite advanced for its time in liberal democratic terms, as was the proposal of an Italian confederation of states; and 4. It was in effect a curtain raiser to the end of the Bourbon kingdom of the Two Sicilies that occurred over 1860 to 1861 with the Risorgimento.
