1859. This is the story of the other — the nephew, the other French emperor, the other Napoleon for the other Italian campaign. Even if the names and places are similar, the events are quite different.
This campaign of 1859 is not the campaign of 1796 or even 1800. The revolutionary tide has passed, and the military movement no longer has the same epic sense.
