Museo Villa Napoleonica di San Martino

TIME : 2016/2/18 21:23:42

Napoleon used to drop into this quaintly ornate villa 5km southwest of Portoferraio to escape the summer heat. At heart, it's a remodelled farmhouse topped by a roof terrace bearing Napoleonic stone eagles. In the 1850s a Russian nobleman had the gallery built at its base, now host to temporary Napoleon-related exhibitions.
