The main
Neapolitan army, retreating following the disaster at the Battle of
Occhiobello
, was being pursued by an Austrian corps under the
command of Adam Albert von
Neipperg. The Neapolitans, commanded by their king,
Joachim Murat, turned to check the
Austrians at the Ronco
River
. The Neapolitans rear guard was defeated by a
smaller advanced Austrian force, compelling Murat to retreat
further south to the Savio River
. The Austrians suffered light casualties,
whereas nearly 1,000 Neapolitans were killed or wounded and more
deserted Murat altogether.| Embed code: |
