Antonio Grillo – Napoleon Historian and Founder of the Napoleon Project

Napoleon Historian and Founder of the Napoleon Project

Antonio Grillo is an independent Napoleon historian and historical communicator focused on Napoleon Bonaparte, the Revolutionary era, and the Napoleonic Wars.

He is the founder of Napoleone.info, an editorial project built to combine historical rigor with clear, readable storytelling.
The mission is straightforward: move beyond myths and simplified narratives and offer evidence-based interpretation grounded in sources and modern historiography.

Napoleonic History, Explained with Sources

Napoleone.info publishes long-form research articles on the Empire and its protagonists, with a consistent methodology:

  • careful use of primary sources and memoir literature;
  • engagement with scholarly historiography and competing interpretations;
  • biographical detail within the broader European political and military context.

This approach is visible in analyses such as the relationship with
Joséphine de Beauharnais
and the dynastic legacy explored in the
critical biography of Napoleon II (King of Rome).

The Napoleon Project: A Connected Digital Ecosystem

The Napoleon Project is not limited to one platform.
It is a connected ecosystem that brings Napoleonic research to a wider audience through articles, community discussion, and video storytelling:

  • Napoleone1769 (YouTube) – Napoleonic history videos and narrative analysis;
  • Giganti della Storia – broader historical topics (Antiquity to the 20th century) to frame the Napoleonic era in long-term European history;
  • Napoleone 1769 – additional essays and editorial notes;
  • Napoleon l’Empereur – a discussion space for enthusiasts and researchers.
