	Napoleonic Miniatures : Battle of Piave : Rules : Wargaming Rules : General de Brigade : 2nd Edition : 15mm : 20mm : ...
		Piave was fought on May 8 1809 between the rearguard of Archduke John's Austrians and the army of Napoleon Bonaparte's stepson Eugene de Beauharnais.
		Piave presented him with a few difficulties - mainly due to the fast flowing Piave River, which flooded fords, prevented pontoon bridges being erected and forced Eugene to ferry his army across.
		Piave was actually a reasonably easy victory for Eugene and in our scenario we wanted to allow the use of pontoon bridges (because we had just made a couple).

	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was situated a bare few kilometres from key Italian cities such as Venice, Padua and Verona - now that the Russians had withdrawn from the war.
		Straussenberg determined to open the attack with a direct assault on the river by Boroevic's forces, to be followed with an attack in the Trentino by Conrad.

		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.

	Parco Naturale del Fiume Sile - Points of Interest
		In the Quaternary period, a geological epoch characterized by the alternation of cold and mild periods, the ancient glaciers of the rivers Piave and Brenta carried from the Alpine valleys to the Treviso plain considerable quantities of alluvial material, scattering them fanwise.
		The river has a straight course from west to east, with a few digressions; on the contrary, from Treviso the river Sile heads towards south-east and becomes rich in meanders making its course winding.
		In the first stretch the river is almost exclusively fed by the resurgences present in the riverbed and at Quinto has an average flow of about 6 mc/s (cubic meter/second) gradually increasing until it becomes steadu at 55 mc/s at Casier, after receiving almost all the left affluents, which are all resurgence affluents, except Piavesella.

		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.
