August 1848 CE
Charles Albert's forces withdraw from Milan after a series of defeats.
On August 6, they cross the Ticino River, leaving the city and its insurgents to the mercy of the returning Austrians.
(Accusations of royal treachery, formulated by Lombard democrats at that moment, long survive in Italian political debates.)
By the terms of the Salasco armistice of August 9, 1848, the Piedmontese army abandons Lombardy.
