The Battle of La Favorita was fought on 15–16 January 1797 between French forces of the Army of Italy under Napoleon Bonaparte and Austrian troops commanded by Field Marshal Dagobert Sigmund von Wurmser and General Giovanni Provera. The engagement took place east of Mantua during the final phase of the Italian campaign of 1796–1797. The French victory eliminated the last Austrian attempt to relieve Mantua, sealing the fate of the fortress and effectively ending organized Habsburg resistance in northern Italy.
