Antoine Gentili

Antoine Gentili (1743 or 1751 – 1798) was a French-Corsican general. A supporter of Pascal Paoli, he fought against the Republic of Genoa. After the French Revolution he sided with the new French Republic, but was defeated and surrendered to the British after their 1794 Invasion of Corsica. After that he fought as a général de division in the French Army of Italy, leading the recapture of Corsica in 1796. In 1797 he was appointed as the first governor of the Ionian Islands under French rule in 1797. He retired on grounds of ill health soon after, dying on 27 March 1798.
