General elections were held in Italy on 10 March 1867, with a second round of voting on 17 March.[1] Only 498,208 men of a total population of around 26 million were entitled to vote.[2] Right-wing candidates emerged as the largest bloc in Parliament with around 45% of the 443 seats.[3] They were largely aristocrats representing rentiers from the north of the country, and held moderate political views including loyalty to the crown and low government spending.[4]
