This is an exceptionally rare and historically significant copy of the Codice Di Napoleon, dated 1806, covering the French occupation of Italy under Napoleon Bonaparte.

The book references key political figures of the era, including the Secretary of State, Secretary-General, and the Minister of Justice, marking it as an official or administrative reference document of its time.

Measuring approximately 9.5 inches by 7 inches, this volume is an important artifact from one of the most transformative periods in European history.

Historical Context:

Napoleon invaded Italy in 1796, and after proclaiming himself Emperor of France in 1804, he reorganized the Italian Republic into the Kingdom of Italy on March 17, 1805. As King of Italy, he appointed his stepson, Eugène de Beauharnais, as Viceroy, and Antonio Aldini as Secretary of State, shaping Italy’s administration under Napoleonic rule.

This Codice Di Napoleon, printed shortly after Napoleon’s consolidation of power in Italy, is undoubtedly one of the earliest legal texts reflecting his influence on Italian governance, making it a highly valuable and desirable collectible.
