Napoleon kept cool and gave her a gift: A copy of the Code Napoleon; written since 1804; printed or issued on 3rd of September; 1807 (3.9.1807). And he gave er a personal inscription in the book: "To Carina; to remember always this day and her Imperator (Emporor)."Later on; sculptor Allori; who was in charge to renovate the chruch of San Defendente; fell in love to Betta la Carina and marbled her face as an angel above the main altar of the church.
