The Battle of Governolo (or Battle of Borgoforte) was a battle fought on 25 November 1526 during the war between the League of Cognac and the Emperor Charles V of Habsburg. It ended with a strategic success for the German militia of the Landsknechts sent to Italy by the emperor, who after being defeated on the field by the troops of Giovanni delle Bande Nere, managed to seriously wound the leader with a falconet shot, fired at the end of the battle; the shot, due to the resulting gangrene, proved fatal for the leader and the road to Rome was clear for the Landsknechts.
