安吉亞裏戰役（The Battle of Anghiari ）又譯為安吉裏之戰
安吉亞裏戰役發生於1440年6月29日，是米蘭公國與以佛羅倫薩共和國為首的意大利聯盟之間進行的倫巴底戰爭中的一次戰役。意大利聯盟的軍隊集中於安吉亞裏，安吉亞裏是托斯卡納公國的一個小的交通樞紐，軍隊組成：紅衣主教Lodovico Trevisan統率4000名教皇軍隊； Micheletto Attendolo統率的300名威尼斯武裝騎士和與教皇軍隊大致相同規模的佛羅倫薩分遣隊以及來自安吉亞裏地區自行加入戰場的軍人。由Filippo Maria Visconti 公爵麾下著名的將領condottiero Niccolò Piccinino 率領的在數量上占有優勢的米蘭軍隊於6月28日夜到達作戰區域，另外，還有從附近城鎮Sansepolcro趕來的2000人的軍隊也加入了米蘭一方。出於對己方兵力優勢的自信，Piccinino命令於次日下午展開攻擊。然而，米蘭軍隊在從Sansepolcro至安吉亞裏行軍中揚起的塵土導致他們的行動被Micheletto和意大利聯盟的軍隊發現並做好了戰鬥準備。Micheletto的威尼斯騎士在通往意大利聯盟營地的唯一的一座河上的橋梁上成功阻擋住了米蘭軍隊的前鋒，Micheletto和威尼斯人成功的控製住了橋梁，保證絶大部分的意大利聯盟的軍隊以嚴整的隊形參戰，並擊退了由Francesco Piccinino上校和Astorre II Manfredi上校率領的米蘭援軍。戰鬥持續了4個小時，直到意大利聯盟的軍隊將三分之一的米蘭軍隊分割於己方河岸一側為止。這場戰役一直打到夜裏並以意大利聯盟一方的勝利而告終。
英文原文如下：
The Battle of Anghiari was fought on June 29, 1440, between Milan and the Italian League led by Republic of Florence in the course of the Wars in Lombardy.
The League's army concentrated on Anghiari, a small centre of Tuscany, and comprised: 4000 Papal troops, under Cardinal Lodovico Trevisan; a Florentine contingent of around the same size, and a company of 300 men-at-arms (knights) from Venice, led by Micheletto Attendolo. Other men joined for the occasion from the Anghiari itself.
Famous condottiero Niccolò Piccinino in the name of Duke Filippo Maria Visconti and reached the area on the night of June 28. Some 2,000 men from the nearby town of Sansepolcro joined the Milanese. Confident in his superior manpower, and on the element of surprise Piccinino ordered an attack in the afternoon of the following day. However the dust lifted by the Milanese on the Sansepolcro-Anghiari road was noticed by Micheletto and the League's forces were made ready for battle.
Micheletto's Venetian knights blocked the Milanese vanguard on the only bridge over the channel protecting the League's camp. Micheletto and the Venetians held the bridge allowing the greater part of the League's army to form for battle but were eventually pushed back by Milanese reinforcements led by the two captains Francesco Piccinino and Astorre II Manfredi. The Milanese advanced but their right flank was soon ferociously engaged by the Papal troops and were obliged to retreat to the bridge. The battle continued for four hours, until a surrounding manoeuvre managed to cut off a third of the Milanese on the League side of the channel.
The battle continued into the night but ended with a victory for the League army.
