Very difficult to read. "La Campagna del 1796 nel Veneto" by Eugenio Barbarich is a historical account likely written in the early 20th century. The work focuses on the military decline of the Republic of Venice during a tumultuous period marked by the events of the Napoleonic Wars and the challenges posed by the French army under General Bonaparte. Barbarich meticulously examines the conditions of the Venetian military forces, including their structure, administration, and the factors leading to their deterioration. The opening of the book presents a dramatic scene where Venetian senators are faced with the impending collapse of their power as they deliberate in a tense meeting. The narrative introduces key figures, such as Nicolò Foscarini, the provveditore generale in Terra Ferma, and the influential general Buonaparte. It highlights the significant military failures and the political turmoil experienced by the Republic of Venice, such as accusations of betrayal and the dire circumstances that lead to negotiations with the French army. This sets the tone for a detailed exploration of the themes of military decay and the socio-political implications of Venice's decline in the face of external threats.
