INTRODUCTION:
Elba and Napoleon: two names who are connected to each other forever.
A special part of Napoleon’s life was his exile to Elba, which lasted about 300 days, from 3rd May 1814 until 26th February 1815.
He exiled voluntarily, because his army suffered many losses in the battles in Russia and at Leipzig. During his stay he realized a immense grow of the prosperity for the citizens of Elba: he took care for a better roadsystem, built a strong harbour-defense of Porto Azurro and developed the wine trade and mining-industry very firmly.
The little man with the large deeds will always be remembered and deserves his own geocache!
Now it’s time to find the big secret of the little Napoleon!
NAPOLEON’S SECRET 1: INVÈRNO
On the 3th May 1814 Napoleon arrived because of his exile with 850 soldiers in de harbourtown Portoferraio. This is the most important town on Elba and has impressive defense-buildings like the Forte Falcone and the Forte Stella.
Secret #1: Napoleon used this “Pallazina dei Mullini” as a very luxury winter-residence. You should visit the museum in the Palazzina. Except his bath tomb you’ll find the original house art, his library and many pieces of equipment. In the garden with a wonderful view at sea you ask yourself why this exile was a punishment….
MISSION: FIND HERE THE MICRO WITH THE LOG AND CODES “N” AND “P” FOR THE FINAL CACHE “NAPOLEON’S SECRETS: Il FINÀLE”
