The Treaty of Tolentino was signed on 19 February 1797 between Pope Pius VI and the French Republic, represented by Napoleon Bonaparte. The Papal States gave up Avignon and the Comtat Venaissin, ceded the Legations of Bologna, Ferrara and Romagna, left Ancona under French occupation and paid a heavy indemnity, including works of art sent to Paris.
