Sardinia-Piedmont was ruled by an Italian princely house. Unlike other Italian states controlled by foreign powers (e.g., Austria), it was an independent Italian-ruled state.

Explanation

The examiner expects you to name the specific state (Sardinia-Piedmont) and contrast it with other Italian states that were under foreign (especially Austrian) domination. This shows understanding of the political fragmentation of Italy in the mid-nineteenth century. Keep the answer to one concise line for 1 mark.
