| | Leopold II, Holy Roman Emperor |
 | | He was still in Florence when Joseph II died at Vienna on February 20, 1790, and he did not leave his Italian capital till the disturbances consequent on the failure of the campaign in Lombardy led to the resignation of the Ridolfi ministry, which was succeeded by that of Gino Capponi. |
 | | The riots continued, especially at Leghorn, which was a prey to actual civil war, and the democratic party of which FD Guerrazzi and G Montanelli were leading lights became every day more influential. |
 | | See G Baldasseroni, Leopoldo II (Florence, 1871), useful but reactionary in tendency, the author having been Leopold's minister, G Montanelli, Memorie suit' Italia (Turin, 1853); FD Guerrazzi, Memorie (Leghorn, 1848); Zobi, Storia civile delta Toscana, vols. |
