Portoferraio, Italy - Napleon Is Imperial Villa
Portoferraio in the Province of Livorno on the Island of Elba, Italy - Napleon Is Imperial Villa. In 1814 Portoferraio was handed over to Napoleon Bonaparte, as the seat of his first exile. Used as Napoleons country retreat, this building owes its style to Prince Demidoff, a distant relative of the Emperor, who in 1851 bought this plain house, extended it with a building of neoclassical inspiration and turned it into a museum called Galleria Demidoff. Inside the Gallery is the sculpture depicting Galatea, attributed to Canova, for which posed Napoleons sister, Paolina Bonaparte Borghese. The frescos inside the villa are by the painter Ravelli. Date: circa 1910s
