He was crowned King of Italy in Milano the 26th May 1805, after being crowned Emperor by the pope Pio VII in Nôtre Dame the 2nd of December 1804, and after having crowned Josephine Empress of the French, as the ritual prescribed.
Without doubt, Napoleon had the support of the Masonry and other secret societies, which let him out from the nowhere, like happened to other historical personages, probably Hitler enclosed. He introduced in the Loges four ‘uncles’ and five 'nieces', but when he tried to replace the Phrygian Cap - of Cybele and of the revolution - with the imperial idea, the support of the sects failed.
So, we can guess Napoleon I (like Napoleon III) tried to 'use' the revolution, even if his Bonapartism aimed at an ambiguous 'new society'. It is true that Napoleon I stated: "I'm the Revolution", and also "The Empire is the Revolution", but in his 'Memorial', he said too: "A revolution is the worst evil that heaven can send for tormenting the earth".
Germany from 1933 to 1945, one of the very few modern European
statesmen who had a truly manly attitude towards women, both in
private life and in public life, founded on the 5th of June 1805, on
the occasion of his being crowned King of Italy in Milan, the 'Ordine
della Corona di ferro' ('The Order of the Iron Crown'), for service
rendered to the Crown both in the career of arms and in that of
administration, of magistracy, of letters and of arts. It was an
order of merit, clearly not dynastic. Unfortunately, Napoleon
Bonaparte was overcome by Bonapartism, as showed by Evola in 'Men
among the Ruins'
You ask whether the nine points of 'The Order of the Iron Wreath'
were ever put into practice or they exist purely in the theoretical
stages. What do you think?
