I'm Italian and can confirm. People even started actually using "standard" Italian(mostly with some remnants of their previous local languages/dialects) in everyday speech only after the inception of TV. The patriot Massimo D'Azeglio said "After making Italy, we need to make Italians", and the (state controlled) TV did this.

EDIT: It was D'Azeglio, not Garibaldi.

That quote is from D'Azeglio, not Garibaldi.
