The municipality of Corpi Santi di Pavia, which was granted autonomy by the Austrian administrative reform of 1755, had a difficult life because of the continuous attempts of the city within the walls to annex the territories of the rural municipality. Based on the precedent of the Napoleonic government - which had unified the city and the surrounding territories - in the post unification years the City of Pavia presented three requests for unification (in 1860, 1875 and, with Mirabello, in 1881), in line with the policy of centralising administration set by laws of 1865 and 1870. Despite opposition by Corpi Santi and the liberal-democratic press (echoed also by the District Commission), annexation was granted by a royal decree on the eve of the local government elections of 1883, which supported the expansionist tendencies of the capital of the province.
