Rivoli Panorama

This page has deliberately been made wider than normal in order to accomodate a series of photographs placed side-by-side to show a panorama of the battlefield of Rivoli. The views were taken from Monte Ceredello, roughly in the centre of the French positions. The compass directions given above each photograph are only approximate. Clicking on an image will show a larger version. This introductory text has been placed to the left so that people with smaller monitors should be able to read all of it without horizontal scrolling.
