"The Battle of Melegnano" is a historical painting by the Italian artist Gallo Gallina, depicting the fierce confrontation that took place on June 14, 1529, during the Italian Wars. The battle, also known as the Battle of Marignano or the Battle of the Giants, was fought near the town of Melegnano, 16 kilometers southeast of Milan, Italy. It involved the French forces commanded by King Francis I and the Swiss mercenaries hired by the Holy Roman Empire and the Duchy of Milan.

Gallo Gallina, whose full name was Angelo Gallina (1796–1874), was a 19th-century painter known for his historical and genre scenes.

The painting serves as both an artistic and educational document, providing insight into the military attire, weaponry, and tactics of the early 16th century. Gallina's use of color, composition, and perspective brings the viewer into the heart of the action, emphasizing the valor and violence of the period's warfare.

As a piece of historical documentation, "The Battle of Melegnano" holds value for both art historians and scholars of military history. It is a testament to Gallina's skill as a painter and his dedication to the representation of Italian history.
