S01 E04 Fourth Roman Republic

Forget the first, second and third Roman republics, Countries That Don't Exist Anymore is all about the Fourth Roman Republic. Join Mazzini, Garibaldi and a pretty peeved pope (plus Ed and Phil) to hear the story of revolution, invasion and attempted Italian unification. Plus, find out answers to the following: did the Pope prefer All Saints or Girls Aloud? Why were there two Sicilies? And what happens when Garibaldi goes into Beast Mode?
