“Nelle sommosse e nelle guerre”

This new exhibition at the State Archive explores the relationship between the Napoleonic power and the Milanese archival institutions. 

On the occasion of the celebrations for the bicentenary of Napoleon Bonaparte’s death “Nelle sommosse e nelle guerre” presents a series of documents, prints, and parchments of great symbolic significance, as well as finely decorated headings, seals, plans for monuments, prints and many other rare pieces from the Milanese archival heritage. Among the most curious relics are in the exhibition: three locks of Napoleon’s hair.
