About the battle
The Battle of Colorno consisted of two battles, fought between 25 May and 5 June 1734, between Franco-Sardinian and Austrian (Habsburg) troops as part of the War of Polish Succession.
Begun on 25 May 1734, the Imperial Austro-German armies conquered and occupied Colorno and its palace during the decisive attack of 1 June.
During the second battle of 4-5 June the Franco-Piedmontese drove them out of Colorno again, forcing them to withdraw.
