Today the \u201cPalazzina dei Mulini\u201d, once official residence of Napoleon, is a National Museum and it is currently being restored. Built in 1724 by Gran Duke Gian Gastone de\u2019 Medici, it was then re-adapted by Napoleon who explained his wishes to the architect Paolo Bargigli from Livorno, in particular about the creation of a Ball room, that was lacking in the initial construction.<\/p>\n
The original furniture was unfortunately lost. Thanks to an accurate reclamation project, the residence has been refurbished with gorgeous empire furnishings from the nineteenth century that recreate the atmosphere of the Napoleonic period.<\/p>\n
The library, instead, hosts original books (mostly volumes brought by Napoleon himself from Fontainbleu libraries) or donations from his uncle Cardinal Fesch.<\/p>\n
The garden that lies between the \u201cPalazzina\u201d and the sea is embellished by two beautiful statues: a Minerva dated back to the Ancient Greece and a copy of Galatea by Antonio Canova (probably inspired by Paulina Borghese), whereas the original one is kept at the Galleria Demidoff in San Martino.<\/p>\n
