La Campagna del 1796 nel Veneto

La Campagna del 1796 nel Veneto by Eugenio Barbarich is a vivid, officer’s-eye account that traces the Venetian theatre of the 1796 campaign and the military decline of the Serenissima. Captain Barbarich combines archival sources and professional insight to map actions “from the bridge of Lodi to the maneuvers at Lonato and Castiglione,” while probing the institutions and people behind the armies. Part military history and institutional study, the work examines the Venetian war administration, officer corps, hired troops, local militias, artillery, engineers and cavalry, plus training, budgets and defensive organization. Set against the upheavals of Napoleon’s Italian campaign, Barbarich explains how logistical, political and organizational weaknesses shaped battlefield outcomes and marked the end of a centuries-old maritime republic’s military cycle. Clear, source-driven and richly detailed, this audiobook offers tactical description without losing sight of broader historical forces. Ideal for listeners passionate about military history, Napoleonic-era Italy, Venetian studies, students and professional readers seeking a rigorous, readable analysis of how armies and states unravel in wartime.
