马真塔战役发生于1859年****，是第二次意大利独立战争的一部份，最终法萨联军在拿破仑三世的率领下击败了法兰茨·尤来元帅指挥的奥军。

这场战役发生于北义的马真塔，当时拿破仑三世的部队渡过了提契诺河，并包抄尤来元帅部的右翼，迫使后者战败撤退。马真塔附近是辽阔的果园，同时由许多溪流和灌溉渠道分割成数个区块这让双方都无法进行过于精细的调动部队。奥军将每栋房子都化为小型要塞。法军的主力由帝国近卫队中的5000名掷弹兵组成（身上着的制服还是第一帝国时期的风格）。马真塔战役的规模并非特别大，但对法萨联军来说仍是场决定性的胜利。帕特里斯·麦克马洪在这场战役中功勋彪炳，因而被封为马真塔公爵，后来他还成为法兰西第三共和国的总统。

The Battle of Magenta was fought on 4 June 1859 during the Second Italian War of Independence, resulting in a French-Sardinian victory under Napoleon III against the Austrians under Marshal Ferencz Gyulai.

It took place near the town of Magenta in northern Italy on 4 June 1859. Napoleon III's army crossed the Ticino River and outflanked the Austrian right forcing the Austrian army under General Gyulay to retreat. The close nature of the country, a vast spread of orchards cut up by streams and irrigation canals, precluded elaborate maneuver. The Austrians turned every house into a miniature fortress. The brunt of the fighting was borne by 5,000 grenadiers of the French Imperial Guard, still in the First Empire style uniform. The battle of Magenta was not particularly large, but it was a decisive victory for the French-Sardinian forces. Patrice Maurice de MacMahon was created Duke of Magenta for his role in this battle, and later served as President of the Third French Republic.
