NAPOLEONE BUONAPARTE
In two documented occasions he speaks explicitly and exact of his homeland samminiatese: While dictating his "memories" to his biographer Las Casas, Napoleon said her came from San Miniato, from where they had been driven to rebellion to the setting time. Previously, in November 1813 in Paris, he had told Gino Capponi having Tuscan origins and that his relatives were lords of San Miniato. On July 2, 1796 went up the hill to greet the last of Buonaparte, his uncle, Canon Philip; remember it, a number of the Journal of Tuscany, published at San Miniato, and a painting by Egisto Sarri (owned by San Miniato Savings Bank and stored at Palazzo Formichini) in which the course leader comes riding in the Tuscan village, with the unmistakable shape of the Tower of Frederick II in the background. Local sources handed down a visit by the young Napoleon already in 1778, when the future emperor and his father would come to Tuscany in search of the documentation certifying the noble origins of the family, necessary for the admission of Napoleon in the prestigious military college of Brienne. In the Accademia museum Euteleti is preserved today in a funeral wax mask of Emperor.
