The fact is, after the fall of the Two Sicilies Kingdom, Genaral Garibaldi want to move immediately againt the State of the Church and take Rome.
Vittorio Emanuele II ran scared of the possible French reaction and stopped Garibaldi, who answered "Obbedisco!" (I obey!).

Nevertheless, the fall of Rome happened the same some years later when France got weak (after Napoleon III), but in that case the action wasn't took by Garibaldi's Red Shirts rather than regular Italian Bersaglieri.
