Napoleon's Transformation into a Statesman

After signing the Treaty of Leopan, Napoleon's evolution as a strategist translated into becoming a master statesman. His experiences leading the army of Italy taught him valuable lessons in both military strategy and political leadership. He cherished his newfound authority and expressed his ambition for more power. While remaining commander of the army, Napoleon established his own court at Mambello, where he and Josephine played the roles of monarchs, hosting an array of social events and gatherings. This extravagant lifestyle helped him assert French dominance over northern Italy while solidifying his reputation as a powerful figure.
