Details of a hussar’s sabre of the Napoleonic era, 1802 - 1805
“Vivere Libero O Morire”, tr. Live Free or Die
“Viva La Repubblica Italiana”, tr. Long Live the Italian Republic.
The motto refers to the Italian Republic, a very short-lived Napoleonic state (1802-1805), born out of the Cisalpine Republic, whose president was Napoleon himself.
