As they advanced into Italian Savoy, the French army of Louis XIV led by General Nicolas Catinat met Victor Amadeus Duke of Savoy at Staffarda, south of Pinerolo near Turin. During a decisive one-sided engagement, Catinat inflicted heavy casualties and captured 10 of 11 Italian guns. Victory enabled the French to secure Savoy and they went on to capture much of Piedmont.
