Early life

Henri Sappia was born on April 17, 1833, in Touët-de-l'Escarène, County of Nice, Kingdom of Sardinia, (nowadays Alpes-Maritimes, France).

Sappia was sentenced to a 15-year prison sentence on August 12, 1870, due to his opposition to Emperor Napoleon III and his support for the republic. With the fall of the Second French Empire on September 4, 1870, he never went to jail.

Sappia co-founded the Acadèmia Nissarda, a historical society in Nice, in 1904 with Alexandre Baréty. He stressed that Nice was culturally Provençal, not Italian.

Death and legacy

Sappia died on September 29, 1909, in Nice, France. The Boulevard Henri Sappia in Nice was named after him.
