Career
Montebello, was one of the ships built in the various shipyards captured by the First French Empire in Holland and Italy in a crash programme to replenish the ranks of the French Navy. Started as Duquesne and renamed soon afterwards, she was built in Venice under supervision of engineers Jean Tupinier and Jean Dumonteil following plans by Sané.[1]
Still under construction, Montebello was surrendered to Austria at the fall of Venice, and commissioned in the Austrian Navy as Cesare. She was eventually broken up around 1835. [1]
A detailed model of Montebello is on display at the Museo Storico Navale. [1]
