Lombard Legion

The Lombard Legion (Legione Lombarda) was a military unit of the Cisalpine Republic which existed from 1796 until the Republic's fall in 1799; but despite the downfall of this sister republic, the Cisalpine troops continued to serve France. The Lombard Legion was the first Italian military department to equip itself, as a banner, with an Italian tricolor flag.
