Battle of Castelfidardo

1860 · 19th century

The Battle of Castelfidardo was fought on 18 September 1860 near Ancona between the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia under Enrico Cialdini and the papal army under the French general Lamoricière. The Sardinian victory allowed the occupation of the Marche and Umbria, which voted to join the new Kingdom of Italy, leaving the pope with only Rome and Lazio.
