They adorn the Napoleonic evenings, and with them a fascinating journey into the world of Napoleon and his sister Elisa, among coins, music, and gardens. On the evenings of August 18th, 19th, and 20th, in the evocative Sala del Dipinto at the Real Collegio, we will recount a time when science, art, and nature intertwined with power and the vision of a new Europe. We will discuss the Napoleonic franc and the banknotes Elisa commissioned, the melodies that accompanied the Emperor's journey from Paris to exile, and gardens that were not only beauty, but culture, symbol, and future. Three evenings to be enchanted by stories that still speak to us, under the August sky, in the heart of Lucca. We await you, with curious eyes and open hearts. MORE INFO
