The term Papal Legation, in a territorial sense, refers to certain northern administrative regions of the erstwhile Papal States: specifically the "Legations" of Ferrara, Bologna, and Romagna. In 1860, after a referendum which followed the Second Italian War of Independence, the Papal Legations became part of the Kingdom of Sardinia.
