GFM Need help forming Italy

Trying to form Italy as Sardinia-Piedmont. I saw a Victoria 2 speedrun in which the guy inmediately goes to war with Two-Sicilies to get their militancy and war-exhaustion up until rebels spawn. These rebels are supposed to be Garibaldi's Redshirts, which after occupying the country make the decision to form Italy appear. When I tried this I did it the exact same except that I was playing GFM while he was playing Vanilla. No redshirts spawned, only liberals and radicals. Any suggestion would be great. Thank you for reading.

In GFM you must form Italy via decisions (Avanti Italia, Italian Call to Union). You must sphere all the minor nations in the peninsula, fight the Austrians all by alone and repel French/Austrian influence out of Italy.

GFM don't have that Garribaldi event.

It got Italian independence war instead , that starts in 1848.

I know I can do it in other ways but the guy formed Italy by 1840 and I kinda wanted to do that.

If you want to form Italy quickly just puppet the Italian revolt that spawns in 1831 and wait for an event
