The first Italian Army was founded under Napoleon

At the end of 1802 it is derived from the Italian Cisalpine Republic, which had an army of 14,000 men. Melzi d'Eril is vice president and the military commander is General Teuliè. In 1805 the Italian Republic will become the Kingdom of Italy and will include about one third of Italy today. He introduced conscription for all males aged 21 to 25 years. If you paid 1000 lire was possible to obtain an exemption, (a school teacher earning 250 pounds a year). The penalty for desertion was three months in jail and military service lasted four years. In the first year should have 18,000 men serve in the military, but only 3,000 showed up. Measures were decided on very hard and succeeded in 1806 to recruit 16,000 men. It formed the honor guard that was composed of children of noble families or wealthy, while the children of the middle class could also get to take the officer's degrees. In 1812 the army had about 70,000 men and 30,000 were sent to fight in Russia and returned only 1000. In Spain, they were instead sent back 27,000 and 9000. Against the background of this first Italian army began to rise above all a national feeling among the officers. In fact, when, after the fall of Napoleon, returned to the Austrians, in many departments began a resistance to newcomers and many did not want to be reabsorbed in the Austrian army. There were mutinies and flags were burned to do not hand them over to the new winner and some ribbons which had to replace the Austrian tricolor were trampled.
