SOLFERINO , a village
Milan on the lineto Verona), situated 410 ft. above sea-level, on the south
south
scene of a battle fought on the 24th of June 1859 between the allied Franco-Sardinian army under Napoleon
Victor Emanuel, and the Austrian army commanded by Francis Joseph IL, in which, after a severe contest, the latter retired over the Mincio "(see ITALIAN WARS). The battle fought by the Sardinians on the left wing of the allied army is often called by the separate
title of San Martino, from a hamlet near the Brescia-Verona railway, about which it was fought. From this battle, a certain shade of blue was designated by the name of Solferino, and was very popular for some years, though now, unlike its companion " magenta," it is forgotten.End of Article: SOLFERINO If you wish, you can link directly to this article.
