There are many other historians besides Signor Casula who sounds a bit of a maverick I ve never heard mainstream historians talking of perfect and imperfect states and surely we can all see even if Casula can t that Sardinia was no more perfect after 1720 than it was before it was still subject to an outside ruler the only difference being that this outside ruler having no other kingly titles decided to transfer the name Kingdom of Sardinia to the whole of his domains
