Napoleonic Museum

The Napoleonic Museum is devoted to the life of Napoleon Bonaparte and his family. It offers a fascinating look at the legacy and personal stories of one of history's most influential figures.

Napoleon’s Family in Rome

Following Napoleon’s death in 1821, the Pope allowed his relatives to make Rome their home. This decision brought Napoleon’s family closer to the heart of Italian society. His sister, Pauline Bonaparte, became especially well known in Rome after marrying Prince Camillo Borghese, a prominent figure in the city’s aristocracy. Their presence gave the Bonaparte name a lasting connection to Rome and its cultural history.
