Abbot Luigi Minichini (priest, poisoner, and Carbonaro), tired of hesitation, sparks an insurrection in Nola, Avellino. Waving the sect’s tricolor flag (red, black, and blue), he and his twenty followers join deserting military units led by Morelli and Silvati. At this point, Guglielmo Pepe takes the lead in the revolt. For King Ferdinand I, this is too much, and he relents, announcing the granting of the Constitution on July 6th.
