RIVOLI VERONESE

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 388 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RHY-RON
RIVOLI VERONESE , a
village
  of Venetia, Italy, in the province of Verona, on a hill on the right bank of the
Adige
 , 13 M. N.W. of Verona, 617 ft. above sea-level. Pop. (1901) 1340. It is celebrated as the scene of the battle in which, on the 15th of January 1797,
Napoleon
  inflicted a decisive defeat upon the Austrians commanded by Josef Alvintzi, Baron von Barberek (17351810) (see FRENCH REVOLUTIONARY WARS). A famous
street
  in Paris (Rue de Rivoli) commemorates
the victory, and under the empire
Marshal
  Massena received the title of duke of Rivoli. The strong positions around Rivoli, which command the approaches from
Tirol
  and the upper
Adige
  into the Italian plain, have always been celebrated in military history as a formidable obstacle, and Charles V. and Prince
Eugene
  of Savoy preferred to turn them by difficult mountain paths instead of attacking them directly.
Minor
  engagements, such as rearguard actions and holding attacks, have consequently often taken place about them, notably in the campaign of 179697. An engagement of this character was fought here in 1848 between the Austrian and the Piedmontese troops.
