The Battle of Turbigo took place the 3 June 1859 saw the French army secure two crossing points over the Ticino River, allowing them to get a foothold in Austrian Lombardy. In 1859 there were two main crossing points over the Ticino near Magenta. The main road and rail bridges crossed the river just to the west of Magenta. The road bridge was called the Ponte di Boffolara, after a village a few miles to the north east. On the western bank was the hamlet of San Martino, with an inn, railway station and Piedmontese custom post.

  • The Battle of Turbigo took place the 3 June 1859 saw the French army secure two crossing points over the Ticino River, allowing them to get a foothold in Austrian Lombardy. In 1859 there were two main crossing points over the Ticino near Magenta. The main road and rail bridges crossed the river just to the west of Magenta. The road bridge was called the Ponte di Boffolara, after a village a few miles to the north east. On the western bank was the hamlet of San Martino, with an inn, railway station and Piedmontese custom post. Five or six miles further to the north, at Turbigo, there was another river crossing, this time by ferry. In both cases the western bank of the river was higher than the eastern bank, so if the Austrians wanted to defend the river crossings they would have to do it on the west bank. They chose to fortify a bridgehead at San Martino, which by the start of June was defended by troops from Eduard Clam-Gallas's newly arrived corps. For most of the month May the main armies had been campaigning, with the French and Piedmontese concentrated in the area around Alessandria and the Austrians to their north. In late May Napoleon III decided to move his entire army to the left and attack the vulnerable Austrian right wing. After the Piedmontese victory at Palestro (30-31 May 1859) the Austrians finally realised what was happening, and Feldzeugmeister Franz Count Gyulai decided to retreat east, out of Piedmont and back across the Ticino into Lombardy. His aim was to defend Milan and prevent the Allies from advancing into the Austrian controlled north of Italy. According to Frederick Schneid, "General Camou with a division of the Guard Voltigeurs, followed by MacMahon's II Corps and Fanti's 2nd Division, arrived at Turbigo, five miles northwest of Magenta, in an attempt to outflank Austrian positions, making the defense of the Naviglio Grande untenable. Camou's division crossed the Ticino by boat between 2 and 3am on June 4. With the right bank secure, the French laid a pontoon bridge." (en)
  • La bataille de Turbigo est un épisode de la seconde guerre d'indépendance italienne. Elle se déroule le 3 juin 1859 à Turbigo. Le 2 juin, la division de voltigeurs de la Garde du général Camou atteint Turbigo, suivi du IIe corps d'armée du général Mac Mahon le jour suivant. Le reste de l'armée se concentre autour du Novara. Le village de Turbigo est inoccupé, mais dénué de pont. Les sapeurs du général Camou travaillent toute la nuit pour construire un pont sur le Tessin qui sera finalement effectif le 3 juin à l'aube, couvert par cinq batteries de six canons. Le IIe corps d'armée de Mac Mahon traverse le ponton de Turbigo pour consolider la tête de pont. Il continue en direction du village de Robecchetto, où le 1er régiment de tirailleurs algériens s'illustre en pourchassant une colonne autrichienne explorant tardivement le secteur au nord de Magenta. Robecchetto est aux mains des Français à 14h30. Les trois divisions de Mac Mahon bivouaquent autour de Turbigo, prêtes à s'élancer le long de la rive gauche du Tessin le lendemain matin. (fr)
