CHARETTE (Baron of). Remembrance of the regiment of the Pontifical Zouaves. Rome 1860-1870 - France 1870-1871. Notes and accounts. Second edition. S.l.n.d., (for the benefit of the church erected on the battlefield of Loigny), 4°, 150 p., several engravings out of text protected under serpent, full brown grief, plates decorated with a gilded and floral framing net at the corners, spine with 5 ribs, author, title, fleurons, gilded nets and head, gilded lace on the cups, counter plates bordered with gilded lace, parchment cover cons. (rouss. scattered) (binding signed Duquesne). Created on 1 January 1861 on the model of the Zouaves troops of the French army, whose exotic uniform was very popular in the middle of the 19th century, the battalion of the Pontifical Zouaves, which became a regiment on 1 January 1867, was made up of volunteers, mostly French, Belgian and Dutch, who came to defend the Papal State whose existence was threatened by the realization of the Italian Unity for the benefit of Piedmont. Its history is correlated with the last decade of the State of the Holy See (1860-1870). The regiment was dismissed on 21 September 1870 following the disappearance of the Papal States.
