  Battle of Marengo (1800) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Battle of Marengo was fought near the city of Alessandria, in Piedmont, north-western Italy on June 14, 1800 during the war of the Second Coalition.
However, the course of the battle was reversed by the return (in response to an urgent summons from Bonaparte) of previously detached forces under the French General Desaix.
The Battle of Marengo was the victory that sealed the success of Napoleon's Italian campaign of 1800 and is best understood in the context of that campaign see French Revolutionary Wars: Campaigns of 1800.

 The Battle of Marengo Microhistories
The finale to Marengo was profoundly influenced by General François Kellermann's brilliantly executed cavalry charge against the Austrian column which was threatening the French center.
His painting of the battle, while interesting, was executed with an eye for drama and not for technical accuracy.
He witnessed the battle from a distance, and so was hardly in a position to know the nature of Kellermann's orders.
