On 14 April 1848 a fifth company of fusiliers was ordered added to each battalion, and company establishment was increased to 150 men at the end of April. During the campaigns of 1848–49 against the secessionist Kingdom of Sicily and the Roman Republic, a 3rd Bn was added to the elite 1st Line Inf Regt, and on 15 April 1849 the strength of each company was increased to 160 men.

On 5 January 1856 the organization was slightly modified: each regiment was now to have 12 active companies divided between 2 battalions, plus a single regimental depot company. The 3rd Bn of the 1st Line Inf Regt was transformed into a new light infantry unit. On 18 August 1859, following the disbandment of the Swiss infantry regiments (see below), the 14th and 15th Line Inf Regts were formed.
