Giovanni Arpaio has returned to Venice where he met his family to discuss the recent political crisis. Then he decided to return to Sardinia-Piedmont and continue to serve the Federation as Ambassador, largely ignoring the political crisis in Vienna.
I will continue my work in Sardinia-Piedmont until the end of my mandate in 1864, after that I will
retire from Federal politics. I thinks that I have already met most of my objectives as politician of this Federation and I would like to help my father in the administration of the Arpaio's Enterprises in Veneto.
I thanks the gentlemen of the Congress and hope that the political crisis that has plagued our nation will quickly find a solution.
- Giovanni Arpaio
Once Giovanni was gone his brother took his place...

Verona, former San Marco, now Cisalpina

Position:

Bio: One of the younger brothers of Giovanni. Pier Paolo followed the steps of his brother during the years of the patrician republic, he was a dissident but unlike Giovanni he failed to circumvent the political barriers of the old republic and couldn't participate to Federal politics.
He became known for his harsh stance against Bavaria in the Bavarian crisis of 1857, after the Civil War, when he asked for the invasion of the German country; later he joined the local Radical groups of San Marco. His strong, orthodox Liberalism quickly produced some tensions with the "proto-Socialists" among the radicals but his support for President Valenta was unquestioned.
Much more "Liberal" than his brother he thinks that economic Liberalism and Free Trade are fundamental and that the Socialists represent a great danger to the entire Federation, but is also favorable to some social reforms to appease the workers and limit the popularity of the Socialists. He is a known Jingoist, even more than his brother, and actively promote aggressive colonialism in Africa, another war against the Ottoman Empire to free the Balkans and a decisive war against Prussia over the dominance in Germany.
Pier Paolo belongs to the right wing of the Radical Union, he is a progressive and supports Federalist policies, political reforms and the abolition of monarchies but is much less enthusiast about social reforms and this new "Socialism".
