The ‘Castello di Marengo’ and the statue of the First Consul at Alessandria

Inaugurated on 14 June 1847, this house built by Giovanni Dellavo houses a Napoleonic museum dedicated to the Battle of Marengo. The façade is decorated with trompe-l’oeil. Six medallions in the entrance hall show the generals Gouvion-Saint-Cyr, Lannes, Marmont, Masséna, Soult and Victor. The statue of the First Consul is the work of Benito Cacciatori.
