Il ritorno di Napoleone. Cento giorni forgiati nel piombo-The return of Napoleon. A hundred days forged in lead

Sandro Bujoni
Napoleon, who landed on 1 March 1815 at Vallauris on his return from Elba, regained power in 20 days without firing even a single musket shot. His loyal followers rushed to join their Messiah. Napoleon sought, for the umpteenth time, the great victory that would allow him to intimidate his enemies and put off the defeat made inevitable by the unbridgeable gap in terms of economic and production resources separating him from the seven coalitions implacably united against him. The Tuileries Garden, the Camp of Boulogne-sur-Seine, the banks of the Thuire and the Marne, the villages of Avesnois: the places through which men marched to meet their destiny at the battle of Mont Saint Jean or, as the English have named it for the history books, Waterloo. A reconstruction which combines modelling, archival research, figurative art and poetry. The author makes an internal and external journey in search of the beauty and harmony of Neoclassicism and the Empire. A journey of more than a thousand hours.
