The First Italian Campaign was a military campaign led by the French general Napoleon Bonaparte in northern Italy and on Austrian territory from 24 March 1796 to 7 April 1797. For a year, it opposed mainly the Army of the French Republic against the forces of the Empire of Austria and the Kingdom of Sardinia. With the Roussillon War, the Siege of Toulon and the actions in Corsica, it was part of the southern theater of the War of the First Coalition.
