As witnesses to History's ups and downs, flags - and in particular infantry flags - reveal how short-lived ideas and their symbols can be when they are the unfortunate victims of auto-da-fés thought up by different regimes. Today museums have only managed to preserve a few rare specimens and the period texts and documents are mostly incomplete. This is particularly true for the Army of Italy flags, those of the volunteers and those of the half-brigades from 1794-1803, which are still mainly unknown to this day. Faced with this type of major difficulty, and if a coherent picture of the flags is to be painted, a whole gamut of particularly inescapable assumptions has to be made. Nevertheless since historical exactitude does not allow for even the smallest unverifiable interpretations, it is up to us to warn our readers that the flags illustrated here are those that our research has enabled us to reproduce.Each individual regimental history has been established so as to follow the trail these flags left as they changed from regiment to half-brigade. These histories are not always able follow the rank numbering in the corps since there was often no direct association between them. For the reader to find his way around, an asterisk designates a battalion which was in at the foundation of the new regiment, and also shows that this unit's flag was most certainly adopted provisionally.

Témoins des péripéties de l'histoire, les drapeaux, et plus particulièrement ceux de l'infanterie, nous démontrent combien les idées et leurs symboles sont éphémères. Malheureusement ceuxci vont être les victimes d'autodafés orchestrés successivement par les différents régimes. Aujourd'hui, il ne subsiste dans les musées que quelques rares spécimens et les textes et documents de l'époque sont pour beaucoup incomplets. Cela plus particulièrement, pour les drapeaux de l'armée d'Italie, des volontaires et ceux des demibrigades de 1794 à 1803, qui restent en grande partie inconnus. Devant cet obstacle majeur, il a fallu faire appel à toutes sortes de conjectures, incontournables si l'on veut établir une représentation cohérente de l'ensemble des drapeaux. Les drapeaux reproduits ici, sont tels que nos recherches nous ont permis de les dépeindre.Destiné aux passionnés de vexillologie, de la Révolution et de l'Empire comme aux collectionneurs et aux figurinistes, cet ouvrage offre au lecteur, répartis en 125 planches, plus de 1 000 drapeaux de cette tumultueuse période s'étendant sur 25 années. Des illustrations de l'auteur viennent enrichir et donner vie à ce qui reste, dans l'histoire, comme l'Esprit de nos Couleurs.
