The Battle of Treponti, also known as Battle of Castenedolo, took place on 15 June 1859, during the Second Italian War of Independence. The encounter opposed the Austrians led by Field Marshal Karl von Urban and the Sardinians commanded by Giuseppe Garibaldi. Von Urban employed a cunning stratagem that led to his victory over Garibaldi.
The Battle of Treponti was the only major Austrian victory of the war. It was also the fourth and final encounter between Karl von Urban and Giuseppe Garibaldi during the conflict.
