Entrance Hall in the Napoleonic Museum in Rome Italy. The first two rooms are dedicated o the splendor of the First Empire 1804-1814. Here are collected the large canvases which depict numerous members of the imperial families in noble and conventional poses. The museum hosts Napoleonic paintings and heirlooms donated to the city of Rome by Count Giuseppe Primoli, the Emperor’s grandson. The Count’s wish was not so much to display the imperial grandeur of the Bonaparte family as to recount their private history and celebrate the close relationship between the Bonapartes and the city of Rome.
