Marie Anna Élise Bonaparte meni naimisiin korsikalaisen aatelismies Pasquale Bacciochin kanssa ja he saivat neljä lasta. Ensimmäisen keisarikunnan aikaan oli keisarillisen perheen jäsen. Napoleon suhtautui myönteisesti Marie Anna Élisen eroon miehestään ja antoi hänelle maaliskuussa 1805 Piombinon ja kesäkuussa Luccan ruhtinaskunnan ja nimitti hänet 1809–1814 Toscanan suurherttuattareksi.
Marie Anna Élise Bonapartella oli suuri vaikutus Italian asioihin. Hänen aviomiehensä kuitenkin palasi ja välit Napoleonin kanssa olivat ajoittain huonot, ja 1813–1814 hän juonitteli Joachim Muratin kanssa hänen asioissaan. Napoleonin syrjäyttämisen jälkeen Ferdinand III palautettiin Toscanan suurherttuaksi, ja Élisa vetäytyi Bolognaan ja Sant'Andreaan Triesten lähelle ”contessa di Compignanon” arvonimellä.
