The Battle of Versa took place on the 26 July 1866 during the Third Italian War of Independence in the Italian unification process.
The Italian army, jointly commanded by Alberto La Forest de Divonne, defeated the Austrian army guarding the crossing of the Torre river at Ponte di Versa, present-day fraction of Romans d'Isonzo in the province of Gorizia. This marked the maximum Italian advance into Friuli.

The battle took place after noon and continued until 14:00 on the wooden bridge over the Torre river, between the Italian army arriving from Palmanova, as the vanguard of Cialdini's expedition, and the Austrian troops encamped on the bank left of the Torre torrent.
After the war, 38 Italian soldiers were awarded, and the Regiment Lancieri di Firenze received the bronze medal for military valor.
