The siege of Porto Ferrajo was a French attempt to force the surrender of the Tuscan fortress town of Porto Ferrajo (now Portoferraio) on the island of Elba following the French occupation of mainland Tuscany in 1801 during the French Revolutionary Wars. The Tuscan garrison was heavily outnumbered, but received significant support from British Royal Navy forces who controlled the Mediterranean Sea and ensured that supplies reached the garrison and that French supply convoys were intercepted. The French began the siege with 1,500 men in May 1801, later reinforced to more than 5,000, but could not make an impression on the fortress's defences, instead seeking to starve the defenders into submission with the support of a squadron of French Navy frigates operating off the coast.

  • El sitio de Porto Ferrajo fue un intento francés de forzar la rendición del pueblo fortificado toscano de Porto Ferrajo —actualmente conocido como Portoferraio—, situado en la isla de Elba, tras la ocupación de la mayoría de Toscana en 1801 durante las guerras revolucionarias francesas. Las fuerzas francesas superaban a la guarnición toscana en número, pero esta última recibió una ayuda considerable por parte de la Marina Real británica, la cual controlaba el mar Mediterráneo y se aseguró de que le llegaran provisiones y de interceptar los refuerzos franceses. Los franceses comenzaron el asedio en mayo de 1801 con mil quinientos hombres, a los que se les unieron más de cinco mil más tarde, pero no pudieron penetrar las defensas de las fortalezas. Por ello, trataron de hacer que los defenso (es)

  • L'assedio di Portoferraio fu un tentativo francese di forzare la resa dell'omonima città fortezza toscana sull'isola d'Elba in seguito all'occupazione francese della Toscana continentale nel 1801 durante le guerre rivoluzionarie francesi. La guarnigione toscana era in forte inferiorità numerica, ma ricevette un sostegno significativo dalle forze della Royal Navy britannica che controllavano il Mar Mediterraneo e assicuravano che i rifornimenti raggiungessero la guarnigione e che i convogli di rifornimento francesi fossero intercettati. I francesi iniziarono l'assedio con 1 500 uomini nel maggio 1801, in seguito rinforzati a più di 5 000, ma non riuscirono a forzare le difese della fortezza, cercando invece di affamare i difensori per portarli alla sottomissione, con il supporto di uno squa (it)
