The Battle of Magenta was fought on 4 June 1859 near the town of Magenta in the Kingdom of Lombardy–Venetia, a crown land of the Austrian Empire, during the Second Italian War of Independence. It resulted in a French-Sardinian victory under Napoleon III against the Austrians under Marshal Ferencz Gyulai. Napoleon III's army crossed the Ticino River and outflanked the Austrian right forcing the Austrian army under Gyulai to retreat. The confined nature of the country, a vast spread of orchards cut up by streams and irrigation canals, precluded elaborate manoeuvre. 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 mostly in their First Empire style of uniforms. The battle of Magenta was not a particularly large battle, but it was a decisive victory for the Franco-Sardinian alliance. Patrice de MacMahon was created Duke of Magenta for his role in this battle, and would later go on to serve as President of the French Third Republic.

The Palazzo Brentano is a late Baroque palace on Vicolo del Ghiaccio in the town of Corbetta located in the Metropolitan City of Milan in the Italian region of Lombardy. The present larger palace at the site was designed by Francesco Croce. It was commissioned by Giuseppe Brentano, who had been made by the Austrian authorities, the Count of Caltignaga in 1715. A smaller but noble house had been owned by the Marquis Ferrante Villani Novati, and the property sold to Count Brentani in 1731. To enhance the prestige of this newly-minted aristocrat, he commissioned this more grandiose villa in the 1730s, and decoration continued until 1750, employing a number of artists who had been employed in the decoration of Palazzo Casati Dugnani and Palazzo Clerici in Milan, including Giovanni Antonio Cucchi (who painted the Apotheosis of Hercules in the central hall); Giovanni Angelo Borroni and Mattia Bortoloni; Ferdinando Porta (who painted the Marriage of Cupid and Psyche in the main hall); and Giovanni Battista Sassi.The Brentano family sold the palace in 1839. After a series of owners, the palace came to be property of tha Somaschi order in 1935. First a seminary, the palace now functions as a children's school.
