The Peace of Zurich was concluded on November 10, 1859 due to the preliminary peace of Villafranca ( Preliminary Peace of Villafranca, July 11, 1859) between Austria , France and Sardinia . He completely ended the Sardinian War .

In this treaty, Austria ceded its rights in Lombardy to France, albeit without the fortresses of Peschiera del Garda and Mantua , which lie on the Mincio , the river border with Veneto . Veneto and the northern Italian fortress square remained under Austrian rule until the end of the Third Italian War of Independence in 1866. Sardinia, in turn, took on 60% of the debt of the Lombard-Venetian pawnshop and 40 million guilders of the national loan of 1854.

As a result, France transferred the rights to Lombardy to Sardinia based on the Treaty of Turin .

The treaties say nothing about the Italian Confederation , which was promised in the preliminaries , nor about the expelled rulers of the three central Italian states of Tuscany , Modena and the Duchy of Parma , whose rights were expressly reserved in the Franco-Austrian special treaty.
