NAPOLEON. IN THE NAME OF ART by Giovanni Piscaglia
The docufilm that tells the story of the most famous man in history after Jesus Christ.

Year 2021 marked the 200th anniversary of Napoleon’s death. This documentary explores the complex relationship between Napoleon, culture and art. It is about the language he used to build a new imperial iconography and a new architectural style, in a reconstruction that will also allow us to reflect on the relationship between power and image mediated by art, as well as look at the regimes of the twentieth century and the world today.
