The Parliament of the Kingdom of Sardinia (Italian: Parlamento del Regno di Sardegna), also called Subalpine Parliament (Italian: Parlamento Subalpino),[1] was the bicameral parliament of the Kingdom of Sardinia.

  1. ^ Despite its name, the Kingdom of Sardinia's political core was the Piedmont, with its capital at Turin; thus it was customary to speak of the "Sub-Alpine Parliament" (Parlamento Subalpino), although this term was sometimes used to refer to the Chamber of Deputies alone.
