Napoleon conquered many kilometres of lands.
One land Napoleon conquered.
It was 24th July 1796. At 10 in the evening some uniformed soldiers appeared in Villafontana, near to Verona. As recalled in his book Giorgio Galetto, the garrison asked "Representatives of the Community, the best accommodation for Him." "Him" with a capital "H" because of the great fame that accompanied him in the Italian Campaign and from them onwards down through history. It was he Napoleon Bonaparte who that night chose to stay at Villa Noris: the historic seat of the Veronese nobleman Antonio Noris. And here this day Corte Noris is born: a name, a trademark, a place from which to spread the best flavors of Italy and to welcome those who want to learn about Italy through its finest flavors.
