Battle context
The Battle of Scapezzano was a brief engagement on 1 May 1815 during the Neapolitan War, pitting an Austrian corps under Adam Albert von Neipperg against a Neapolitan division under Michele Carrascosa. The Austrian force outnumbered the Neapolitans by nearly two to one, reflecting the broader disparity in strength that characterized the Austrian campaign against Joachim Murat's kingdom. Beyond its place as one of the engagements of that short war, the recorded details are too limited to assess its specific effect on the campaign's outcome or what it decided operationally.
