The Napoleonic Museum was founded in 1927, when Count Giuseppe Primoli (1851-1927), son of Princess Carlotta Bonaparte and great-grandson of Napoleon's brothers Joseph and Lucien Bonaparte, donated to the city of Rome his important collection of works of art, Napoleonic relics and family mementos, now displayed in the ground floor rooms of the family palace. The collection, into which his brother Louis's (1858-1925) collection had partly merged, arose from the desire to document as comprehensively as possible the history of five generations of the Bonapartes and the intense relations that bound this family to the city of Rome.
