{"type":"Feature","properties":{"id":3876,"name":"The Foresiana Library","description":"

The Foresiana Library gathers Napoleon\u2019s private library (about 2000 volumes) that was donated by the Emperor to Portoferraio at the end of his stay in the island: pieces of history, literature, military arts, geography, legislation and Greek and Latin classics coming from the Fointainebleau castle.<\/p>\n

It was soon opened to the public on 1815 but it lost several volumes after Napoleon\u2019s defeat at Waterloo.<\/p>\n

From the Italian Unification, the Portoferraio Municipality together with the Ministry of Public Education have worked together in order to increase the Library by enhancing the number of volumes: all intellectuals men and citizens were asked to donate their pieces. The humanist Mario Foresi gave 14000 volumes of great importance enhancing the collection quite a lot.<\/p>\n

At the Foresiana Library, you can examine in depth the Island and its people, thanks to the area devoted to Elba and Tuscan Archipelago and by consulting the ancient newspapers.<\/p>\n
