Il 13° reggimento di Padova dell’ imperial e regio esercito austriaco
The 13th regiment of Padovas imperial and royal Austrian army

Summary/Abstract: The copy presents the history of Imperial and Royal 13th Infantry Regt. of the Austrian army from 1814 when the regiment was put together from the soldiers from the disbanded Napoleonic Grande Armée of the Kingdom of Italy, to 1866 when Veneto, Friuli and Mantua regions were ceded to the Kingdom of Italy. Both the story and destiny of the 13th Infantry Regt. is directly tied to the geographic and geopolitic region of the former Austrian Empire, thus the Czech and Slovak republic as well. Since 1815 the 13th Infantry Regt. was comprised of soldiers coming from the vicinity of the city of Padua where the unit was deposited. The regiment battalions were deployed in various cities around the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the region of Dalmatia. Two hundred grenadiers that were situated in Vienna in the spring of 1848 protected the royal stables from the attack of the Viennese insurgents.
