More about the book
The historical backdrop of Ajaccio reveals its transformation from a declining city in the Middle Ages to a significant location after the Genoese established a citadel in 1492. Notably, it is the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte, whose family home is now a museum. After his defeat at the Battle of Leipzig, Napoleon was exiled to Elba but made a dramatic return to reclaim his throne, culminating in his final defeat at the Battle of Waterloo, leading to his exile on the remote island of St. Helena.
