Battle of Giornico

In the Battle of Giornico (28 December 1478) a Swiss force of 600 defeated 10,000 Milanese troops.

Shortly after it, the Duke of Milan built the small Castello di Corbaro. This can be visited from Bellinzona and its belvedere museum hosts temporary art exhibits. The Swiss and the Milanese met again, in 1487, at the Battle of Crevola.
