[STC009769]. Pope Pius IX walled himself within the Vatican during the Italian reunification in 1870 and refused to leave out of protest because he thought it would be seen as endorsing the new secular authority in Italy. Until 1929, when the modern state of Vatican City was founded and formally separated from Italy, his successors carried on the protest.
