| Summary: | This year marks the bicentenary of the death of Napoleon Bonaparte, which occurred 5 May 1821 on the island of St Helena, where the emperor had been exiled by the victors of the “great European conflict”. Napoleon was – and still is – an inconvenient, and contradictory myth that has spanned the 19th and 20th centuries. On the day after his death, Alessandro Manzoni wondered whether his had been a “true glory”, entrusting posterity with “the arduous judgement” on his life’s work from the historical perspective. This year, institutions and scholars will commemorate the anniversary, starting from points of view (or objectives) that are far from convergent. In any case, the figure of Napoleon still arouses debate, division, mistrust, and admiration. |
