About the battle
The Battle of Santa Lucia, part of the First Italian War of Independence, was an engagement between Sardinian and Austrian forces in Verona, Italy. It was fought on 6 May 1848, when the King of Sardinia, Carlo Alberto, sent the I Corps of the Sardinian army to assault the fortified positions held before the walls of Verona by the Austrian army under field marshal Josef Radetzky. The Austrian army, though outnumbered, managed to withstand the attack and hold their positions. The battle is named after the Santa Lucia district of Verona. Franz Joseph (then only 17 years old) assisted in the battle.
