The Italian Republic (Italian: Repubblica Italiana) was a short-lived (1802-1805) republic, located in Northern Italy. It was a vassal state of the First French Republic of Napoleon.
The Italian Republic was the successor of the Cisalpine Republic, which changed in its constitution to allow the French First Consul Napoleon to become its president. The new constitution changed the name to the republic, which therefore consisted of the same areas that had comprised the Cisalpine Republic, primarily Lombardy and Romagna.
In 1805, following Bonaparte's assumption of the title of Emperor of the French, the Italian Republic was transformed into the Kingdom of Italy (Regno d'Italia), with Napoleon as king and his stepson Eugène de Beauharnais as viceroy.
