The Battle of Goito was an episode of the First Italian War of Independence. It took place on May 30, 1848, when Josef Radetzky's Austrian army attacked Charles Albert's 1st Army Corps of the Piedmontese Army, deployed to protect the bridge over the Mincio River near Goito, in Austrian Lombardy-Venetia.
The battle ended with a victory for the Piedmontese, commanded by General Eusebio Bava. With this victory, Radetzky's strategic plan to outflank the enemy army deployed on the Mincio River, despite the previous day's victory at Curtatone and Montanara, failed.
The Piedmontese victory, however, was only tactical, as the Austrian army retained its strength and the maneuvering initiative it had acquired after the Battle of Santa Lucia. Its revenge was soon evident in the Battle of Monte Berico on June 10, a clash in which Radetzky captured Vicenza.
