On July 18, 1848, during one of the wars of independence, a clash took place here in Governolo between Piedmontese troops, including bersaglieri, and an Austrian army rearguard. The Austrians had the worst of it, also because they were in clear numerical inferiority. When you visit Governolo, it is very interesting to follow the path prepared by the municipality with explanatory panels placed in various locations (I must say that sometimes they are not even very visible and therefore you have to go on a bit of a treasure hunt, but it's fun) that guide you step by step through the events of that day; in reality, they also tell of a clash that took place on April 24, also in 1848. Let's say that 1848, that period, was not exactly peaceful.
