Beautiful cycle path with good surface

The obelisk of Arcole is the only trophy still existing in Italy among the many erected to the glory of Napoleon. The construction of the Napoleonic obelisk of Arcole is part of the propaganda action, carried out by Napoleon also in Italy starting from 1802, when he was elected President of the Cisalpine Republic and the birth of the Italian Republic was proclaimed. In memory of the war against the Austrians, in the famous painting by Gros, Napoleon chose the Battle on the bridge of Arcole from 15 to 17 November 1796, where he was represented on the bridge, with a flag in his hand and his sword unsheathed.

Little-known historical monument

The Battle of the Bridge of Arcole was a battle fought at the Bridge of Arcole in Italy on 15 November 1796 between France under Napoleon Bonaparte and Austria under József Alvinczi during the Italian Campaign of 1796–1797 in the War of the First Coalition. The Napoleonic army bit the dust (or rather the mud) several times, which demotivated the French troops, and Napoleon himself stormed the bridge with a flag and sword in front, which then had to be relieved. In the end, the Austrian army was defeated and Arcole and the entire Venetian region were taken by Napoleon. The Napoleon Museum can be visited in Arcole and an obelisk was placed at the bridge in memory of the battle.
