Abstract

The article provides a brief account of the research and consequent publications that in the decade 2014-2023, sometimes taking a cue from or in continuation of scholarly initiatives launched in previous years, concerned urban and architectural issues of the Napoleonic era, chronologically identifiable in the time span between the Italian Campaign (1796-1797) and the “Hundred Days” (1815). Without any pretense of completeness, since the topic, as a result of the bicentennial of Napoleon Bonaparte's death celebrated in 2021, has taken on international resonance and interdisciplinary connections, the contribution selects some of the main lines of advancement of such research, divided into three distinct, albeit related, themes: architects, cities and civil architecture, court residences.
