Curiosity: The young Napoleon visited San Miniato twice. The first was to have the certificate of nobility of one's family: the Bonapartes of Ajaccio had in fact distant origins from San Miniato; the certificate was necessary for Napoleon to be able to access the French military academy. Subsequently he returned there during the Italian Campaign, visiting the last survivor of the Tuscan branch of the family, Canon Filippo Buonaparte. A plaque affixed to Palazzo Buonaparte testifies to the meeting that took place there.
