Career
Royal Italien, or Reale Italiano, 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. She was built in Venice under supervision of engineers Fonda and Andrea Salvini following plans by Sané.[1]
Royal Italien was surrendered to Austria at the fall of Venice, and commissioned in the Austrian Navy as Reale Italiano. In 1825, she was razéed into a frigate. She was eventually broken up in 1838. [1]
