What are way to prevent Italian unification, that don't necessitate changing the history of other countries? For example, a "no Napoleon" scenario or an extremely-strong Hapsburg empire might prevent the Risorgimento, but it requires changing the history of the rest of the world for it. Obviously when it comes to ramifications no-Risorgimento would mean that the history of the rest of the world would be altered, but what I'm asking for is different. I'm asking only for Italian PODs, i.e. PODs that start in Italy by Italians, and cause a chain of events limited to Italy and affecting mostly Italians, at the end of which the Risorgimento would be thwarted.
