Jaume Ollé, 5 November 1998
In 1796 the French troops entered Lombardia under the guide of
Napoleon. Following the occupation a state was formed: the
Repubblica Transpadana. On 19 August 1796 the original Urban
Milice, which wore green and white garments since 1782, was
transformed in National Guard and its uniforms added red to the
original colours. The same were used by the Legione Lombarda
(Lombarda Legion) and the three colours, following a common
practice at the time, were transposed to the military colors. The
ensigns were green, white and red as in the current national flag
of the Italian Republic. On 11 October 1796 Napoleon wrote to
Paris "..les coulers nationales qu'ils ont adoptees sont le
vert, le blanc et le rouge" (the national colours they
adopted are green, white and red). The ensigns were delviered to
the troops since 6 November 1796 and carried mottoes of different
kinds. This republic was short lived, because on 17 July it
merged with the Repubblica Cispadana to form the Repubblica
Cisalpina.
