I need some leader names for a scenario I'm going to start, so I thought this would be the easiest forum to get them from.
If anyone has the names of the leaders of Parma, Lombardy (Milan), Tuscany (Florence), Modena, or the Austrians around 1859, I really need them. It would be a big help.

Austria (later Austria-Hungary) was ruled by Franz Josef I at that time. Don't know about the rest.

As far as I can tell the principalities you need leader-names for are Parma, Modena and Tuscany, the duchys incorporated into Piedmonte-Sardegna in 1860. Milan was Austrian.
Modena: Duke Francesco/Frans V
Parma: Duke Robert, a minor, and the actual rule by his mother Louisa Maria (house of Bourbon)
Tuscany (Lucca united with it in 1847): Archduke Leopold II (house of Lorraine, 1824-1859), abdicated 21 July 1859 in favour of his son Ferdinand IV (deposed 11 August)

Thanks. As you can probably tell, I may have a Risorgimento scenario coming out. Special thanks about Austrian Milan.
