		The battle of Solferino, culminating engagement of the Italian Campaign of 1859 would recapitulate on a grand scale the tactical and operational inconsistencies already observed during the struggles at Magenta and Melegnano—blind offensive rushes with the bayonet in vulnerable masses, insufficient concentration and maneuver of artillery fire, lethal visibility of officers.
