Revolutionary France and the Papal States signed a peace treaty at Tolentino on 19 February 1797, imposing surrender terms on the Papal side.
The Treaty of Tolentino was signed on 19 February 1797 between Revolutionary France and the Papal States. It followed nine months of negotiations and a February 1797 invasion of the Papal Romagna by 9,000 French soldiers, which left the Pope no choice but to accept the French terms. The treaty confirmed the harsh terms of the preceding armistice signed at Bologna, adding 15 million livre to the 21 million indemnity previously extracted from the Papal States, for a total of 36 million.
