More information
Italian horse artillery.
During the Napoleonic era, when Napoleon Bonaparte established the Kingdom of Italy, Italian horse artillery units were integrated into the French Grande Armée. These units fought in various campaigns alongside French forces, including the Battle of Wagram, Battle of Austerlitz, and Battle of Borodino, among others. The Italian horse artillery was renowned for its mobility and effectiveness in supporting cavalry actions.
In the 19th century, after the fall of Napoleon, Italy experienced various political and military transformations. During the Italian Wars of Independence in the mid-19th century, Italian horse artillery played a crucial role in battles such as the Battle of Solferino and the Battle of Magenta. These artillery units provided mobile firepower, supporting the infantry and cavalry in combat.
