Elisa Bonaparte (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elisa_Bonaparte) was one of Napoleon's sisters, and he made her Princess of Lucca and Piombino in 1805 and Grand Duchess of Tuscany in 1809 when he got rid of the local Bourbons. IIRC Elisa was the only female relative who he treated in this manner (except for Pauline, who basically told him to f*ck off when he made her the Duchess of Guastalla) and I was wondering if there was any possibility of her keeping either Tuscany or Lucca after 1815. Unlike Empress Marie Louise, she didn't have powerful relatives who could wrangle her a Duchy for life at the Congress of Vienna at the expense of the aforementioned Bourbons, but on the other hand, she had been voted in by the general populace in Lucca at least, so she had that semblance of legitimacy going for her. Elisa seems to have been a pretty competent and Enlightened ruler when she wasn't forced into authoritarianism by her brother, and she had a taste for fine arts. So maybe if she had befriended somebody with the charm of Count Adam Albert von Neipperg, she and her family could have held on until the Savoyards swept all before them a few decades later.
So what diplomatic shenanigans would be required for Elisa to keep, say, her Principality? Where would the Bourbon-Parma dynasty be shipped off to in the meantime? Or would the early death of Carlo II of Parma be a necessity? Or would Murat have to win/stay quiet in 1815? Are there any ramifications for the course of Italian Unification?
