The Republic of Bergamo or ''Repubblica Bergamasca'' was an ephemeral revolutionary client republic of 24 members, created on 13 March 1797, by the French army to rule the local administration of Bergamo and its province. With the Preliminary of Leoben, France and Austria agreed the end of the multi-centennial Venetian rule over the territory between Adda River and Oglio River, together with the Austrian occupation of Istria and Dalmatia. Defined as ''"mother-municipality"'', the administration of the city of Bergamo had to help the creation of ''"dependent-municipalities"'' in all the surrounding county. The Republic so became one of the constituent countries of the Cisalpine Republic, established on 29 June 1797. == Establishment of the Revolutionary Republic == The French troops under General Bareguey entered Bergamo on Christmas Day of 1796, without a fight, according to the Venetian podestà, Count Ottolini, who had agreed to the withdrawal of the Venetian troops. On 12 March 1797 was proclaimed the Republic of Bergamo. Ottolini, threatened with arrest, left for Brescia, while the new municipality was being elected, consisting of 24 persons, who also established a semblance of an army. Two days later the Republic voted to be annected to the Republic Cispadana, and the symbols were removed from the doors of the Venetian Walls. The tree of liberty was erected in Piazza Vecchia, as well as in the districts. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Republic of Bergamo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
