200 years since Napoleon Bonaparte invaded Venice, not enough to make a bunch of people there forget his actions in the past. A group of people Venezia Bonaparte planned to sue on the grounds, the man considered the tyrant had been stealing things artistic.
This lawsuit, all for a campaign for the statue of the former ruler of France was eliminated from the Field Museum St.Mark heart of Venice. Statue of a 2.5 meter-high marble that shows Napoleon with an open chest and muscular body of his left hand holding a globe. Powered by the merchants of Venice, as a token of gratitude to Napoleon that has made this city as a tax free port.
The statue is located in St. Mark's Square, in 1811 until 1814, when the city fell into the hands of Austria. The statue was later moved to San Giorge Maggiore. Historians lose track of the existence of the statue, until rediscovered in the Sotheby's auction.
