Eliezer not knowing stuff is generally low on my list of possibilities. Italian unification isn’t terribly obscure. And Italy was always a unified geographic and cultural area, even in the period where it was politically disjoint.

History is very far from his areas of expertise, and it is an area where he’s demonstrated gaps before (in particular, when talking about phlogiston as an example of a theory that didn’t pay rent, and when using heliocentricism/geocentricism as an example). This isn’t a very high priority area for him.
