I always thought that Napoleon's chef was a chap called Dunand, who I thought was French rather than Italian. He was the man responsible for the creation of the dish "marengo".
A chicken or veal dish made with cognac or white wine, tomatoes, eggs, crayfish, garlic, olive oil and bread. Chicken Marengo is said to have been created by Napoleon's chef Dunand, who was ordered to create a meal for Napoleon while he was on the battlefield in the Italian town of Marengo in 1800. Napoleon apparently enjoyed it so much that he asked for it to be served after every battle.
