Establishment and Collapse of the Parthenopean Republic

A provisional Jacobin government was established at Pescara in January 1799 as an integral part of the Parthenopean Republic, holding out until 30 June 1799.

In December 1798, French troops under General Duhesme captured the fortress of Pescara as part of the French invasion of the Kingdom of Naples. A provisional Jacobin government, called the Republic of Pescara, was established there in January 1799 as an integral part of the Parthenopean Republic, which had divided the former kingdom's territory into departments. Pescara was the last Jacobin stronghold in the region to surrender, capitulating on 30 June 1799.
