	First World War.com - Battles - The Battle of the Piave River, 1918
		The Battle of the Piave River comprised the last major Austro-Hungarian attack on the Italian Front and virtually heralded the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian army on the way to the dismantling of the empire.
		The main assault, fought between 15-22 June 1918, was prompted by German demands upon their ally to launch an offensive across the Piave river - which was situated a bare few kilometres from key Italian cities such as Venice, Padua and Verona - now that the Russians had withdrawn from the war.
		Its dismantling was finalised by the Italians at the Battle of Vittorio Veneto in the autumn.

		Henri Kervarec on the Battle of the Piave River
		The battle of the Piave was, in the first place, a battle fought in order to check the enemy, from the countering of the artillery, and the resistance offered by the advance posts.
		If the battle of June 15th-23rd on the Piave cannot be compared with the battle of the Marne, as was done immediately after the victory, yet it must be declared that this victory, won when it was won, had very important consequences, which must be briefly pointed out in ending.

		Like Verdi, Piave was an ardant Italian patriot, and in 1848, during Milan's ''"Cinque Giornate,"'' when Radetsky's Austrian troops retreated from the city, Verdi's letter to Piave in Venice was addressed to "Citizen Piave." Piave was born in Murano in the lagoon of Venice, during the brief Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy.
		Piave would have also prepared the libretto for ''Aida'', the commission for which Verdi accepted in 1870, had he not suffered a disabling stroke.
		Piave died in Milan in 1876 at age 65 and was interred there in the Cimitero Monumentale.

		The Battle of Piave was the second battle in Northern Italy during the 1809 Campaign and follows the Austrian victory at Sacile earlier in the campaign.
		Piave involved some 25,000 Austrians under command of Archduke John who had begun a withdraw from Northern Italy in the face of Eugene's French/Italian army which had risen, by this time, to some 50,000 troops.
		Interestingly, Piave involves a crossing of a major river in the face of an enemy with the crossing being limited by time and rising river levels.

		Conrad, the former Chief of Staff who was now based in the Trentino, was allotted the main task of reaching Verona, while to the left Boroevic von Bojna on the Piave was to cross the river and aim for Padua and the Adige.
		A lack of reinforcements and restrictions on the movement of supplies (all but four of the bridges thrown across Piave by the Austrians had been destroyed by air raids and heavy rain) had severely weakened Boroevic's position, and by 21 June his flank had been turned.
		General Diaz, the over cautious Italian commander, did not pursue the enemy across the Piave and the unsuccessful Austrian offensive was brought to a close.

		In addition, the Po River's southern tributaries emerged from the mountains to cross the valley floors, intersecting at possible routes of advance and serving as potential defensive positions.
		The river varied in width from 130 to 500 yards and was often bordered by levees which served as nature fortifications made stronger by field works on both banks.
		Although the majority of the Po River bridges were destroyed, the U.S. 85th Infantry Division, like other fast-moving Fifth Army units, had been able to take many spans south of the Po intact, such as the Panaro River bridge at Camposanto, eleven miles north of Ponte Samoggia.
