Cardinal Joseph Fesch, uncle of Napoleon, was a great art collector who commissioned the construction of the Fish Museum building in the nineteenth century; When he died he left an impressive collection of art pieces for the city in which he was born, including some 16,000 paintings; That's why the Musée Fisch houses one of the largest collections of Italian paintings in France, and the museum also has an art room full of Corsican and Napoleonic exhibitions.
