Prince Albert II of Monaco is commonly known as the Grimaldi who represents one of the oldest dynasties in Europe, allegedly founded by Grimaldo Canella, the consul of Genoa in the late 12th century. In 1297, the Grimaldis took possession of Monaco for the very first time.
Two hundred and ten years ago, on 20 November 1815, the Second Parisian Peace Treaty was signed between France and the anti-French coalition allies (Austria, Great Britain, Prussia, Russia). An end was thus put to the Napoleonic Wars having claimed at least three million lives.
