The certificate of honorary citizen (Principality of the island of Elba) was welcomed by the dean Salvatore Caridi (Scuderia Motorizzata Marengo). “With the name Marengo – was the voice of Caridi – open doors, activate deep relationships of esteem and collaboration: this happened to the island of Elba where the basis for our development has been built”.
The golden button exhibited by the biker brigade confirms the friendship, enhances the collaboration guaranteed to the cultural center Marengo animated by curator Efrem Bovo. The last remake of the parade of trotting knights on the trail of country paths to transfer the Peace Convention of Alexandria (15 June 1800) from the General Headquarters installed by the First Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte at the farm Torre Garofoli to the villa Delavo in Marengo was escorted by the motorcyclists.
The Principality of the Island of Elba (14 April 1814 – 1 March 1815) alias the absolute monarchy established by the treaty of Fontainebleau served the exile Napoleon, already forced to give up the dynastic rights on the states included in the First French Empire, to keep the title of nobility.
