Italian Militaries

After reading plenty of awesome timelines on this site, I'm finally working on my own, but I've become a tad stuck on the militaries of the pre-unification states of Italy :( So does anyone have a list of commanders in the Neapolitan and Papal armies around 1860-70? Or just any extra info on their armies? Thanks!! :D :D
 
Look for "The Pope's Soldiers - A Military History of the Modern Vatican" by David Alvarez; it covers the Papal military from post- Bonaparte to today. (Published 2011.)
Cannot help with the Neapolitans though.

The French general Lamoricière commanded the was the commander of the Papal Army in 1860. He was crushed by the Piedmontese at Castelfidardo on 18 September.

As far as the Neapolitan Army, Ferdinando Lanza was the commander in Palermo. Giosue Ritucci commanded the army at the Volturno. King Francesco himself commanded the defense of Gaeta.
 
You might try seeing whether you can find a copy of the novel 'Out With Garibaldi', by G.A. Henty: He was good on details like that...
