The Napoleonic Italian state whose Kingdom of Italy — the French-satellite monarchy proclaimed by Napoleon Bonaparte who crowned himself King of Italy — was the first modern state to call itself Italy since the fall of Rome.
Kingdom of Italy — proclaimed in 1805 when Napoleon transformed the Italian Republic into a kingdom with himself as monarch and his stepson Eugène de Beauharnais as viceroy, its green-white-red tricolor flag adapted from the Cisalpine Republic's banner becoming the direct ancestor of the modern Italian tricolore, its Napoleonic legal reforms introducing the Code Napoléon, abolishing feudalism, and reorganizing the church-state relationship in ways that permanently modernized northern Italian society even after the kingdom's 1814 collapse. The kingdom's nine-year existence — which unified Lombardy, Venetia, and the Romagna under a single administration for the first time since antiquity, creating an educated class that had experienced Italian governance and would form the intellectual backbone of the Risorgimento — made Napoleon's satellite state the unlikely incubator of the Italian nationalism that produced Mazzini, Garibaldi, and the unified Kingdom of Italy in 1861.
