What was the percentage of cavalrymen and infantrymen in both armies ?
Do we know the number of guns ?

According to:

http://cronologia.leonardo.it/storia/aa1688a.htm

11.000 Infantry, 5.000 Cavalry, 18 guns for the Savoyan army.


Others sources:

11-12.000 Infantry, 5.000-7.000 Cavalry, 12 guns, a total of 18.000 men for the Savoyan army.

Victor Amadeo is said to have lost 11 of his 12 guns.


7.000 Infantry and 5.000 Cavalry for the French.

Next source:

Thak you El Cid.
I must admit than I'm pretty new to LoA in northern Italy, and I found this small battle very interesting.
Where can I find any map for it ?

I haven´t found a map until now, just vague descriptions of the battlefield (mostly from the French Point of view).
Since the Savoyan army lost, well, they didn´t have any intetest in picturing the battle, it seems.
I´ll try to draw a possible map (in the near future).
