Italian soldiers with Napoleon 1796-1815. 80 color plates.
Immediately after the entry of Napoleon in Italy on 10 April 1796, the French troops occupied the territories that were under Austrian rule, namely the Duchy of Milan, the territories of the Duchy of Modena and Reggio, and part of the state of the church, namely Ferrara and Bologna.
With the support of Italian sympathizers of the revolution (locally called 'Jacobin') that sprang up in the peninsula between 1796 and 1799, a series of Republican states were created on the French model: Republic of Alba, Anconitana Republic, Republic Bergamo, Republic of Bologna, Republic of Brescia, Cremate Republic, Republic of Piedmont, Republic of Reggio Emilia, Republic of Italy, and the Republic of Liguria.
Many of these republics the following year joined the Cisalpine Republic with capital at Milan. The Italian flag was born in this area, for example, taking the French revolutionary tricolor, adopting the colors green, white, and red. The Republic eventually became the Kingdom of Italy, gravitating towards the Napoleonic sphere.
