In the Battle of Magnano on 5 April 1799, an Austrian army commanded by Pál Kray defeated a French army led by Barthélemy Schérer. In subsequent battles, which are united under the heading of Suvorov's Italian campaign, the Austrians and their Russian allies drove the French out of nearly all of Italy. This action was fought during the War of the Second Coalition, part of the French Revolutionary Wars. In terms of troop numbers and casualty ratios, the battle became nearly identical to the Battle of Verona on 26 March the same year during the same Italian campaign; however, this time all the figures favored the Austrians.
