Where exactly is the statue located:
In the spring of 1807, Minister Charles-Jean-Marie Alquier, French ambassador to Rome, by order of Prince Eugene de Beauharnais, viceroy of the Kingdom of Italy and Napoleon’s stepson, commissioned Canova, for the sum of five thousand French louis, to make an exact bronze copy of the marble statue. The statue was not installed until 1859, when it was placed in the center of the courtyard of honor of the Brera Palace, on the occasion of Napoleon III’s visit to Milan.
