1797 CE

General Napoleon Bonaparte reorganizes Italy to create the Cisalpine republic, negotiates treaties with several Italian princes, and “liberates” vast sums of money and invaluable Italian works of art for the museums and coffers of the French republic.

The parliament of the Cisalpine Republic adopts the Italian green-white-red tricolor as the official flag on January 7 (this is considered the birth of the flag of Italy).
