The Republicof Genoa (Italian:Repubblica di Genova, Ligurian:Repúbrica de Zêna) was an independent state from 1005 to 1797 in Liguria on the northwestern Italian coast, incorporating Corsica from 1347 to 1768, and numerous other territories throughout the Mediterranean. During its peak in the 16th century, it was a satellite state of the Spanish Empire.
Before 1100, Genoa emerged as an independent city-state, one of a number of Italian city-states during this period. Nominally, the Holy Roman Emperor was overlord and the Bishop of Genoa was president of the city; however, actual power was wielded by a number of "consuls" annually elected by popular assembly. Genoa was one of the so-called "Maritime Republics" (Repubbliche Marinare), along with Venice, Pisa, and Amalfi and trade, shipbuilding and banking helped support one of the largest and most powerful navies in the Mediterranean. The Adorno, Campofregoso, and other smaller merchant families all fought for power in this Republic, as the power of the consuls allowed each family faction to gain wealth and power in the city. The Republic of Genoa extended over modern Liguria and Piedmont, Sardinia, Corsica, Nice and had practically complete control of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Through Genoese participation on the Crusades, Genoese colonies were established in the Middle East, in the Aegean, in Sicily and Northern Africa.

The Republic of Genoa was an independent state and maritime republic from the 11th century to 1797 in Liguria on the northwestern Italian coast, incorporating Corsica from 1347 to 1768, and numerous other territories throughout the Mediterranean and the Black Sea.
Known as "la Superba" , "la Dominante" , "la Dominante dei mari" , and "la Repubblica dei magnifici" . From the 11th century to 1528 it was officially known as the "Compagna Communis Ianuensis" and from 1580 as the "Serenìscima Repùbrica de Zêna" .
During the late Middle Ages, the Republic of Genoa was a major commercial power in the Mediterranean and Black Sea, while between the 16th and 17th centuries it was one of the major financial centers in Europe.
It was a celebrated maritime republic and today its coat of arms is depicted in the flag of the Italian Navy. In 1284, Genoa fought victoriously against the Republic of Pisa in the battle of Meloria for the dominance over the Tyrrhenian Sea, and it was an eternal rival of Venice for dominance in the Mediterranean Sea.
From 1339 until the state's extinction in 1797 the ruler of the republic was the Doge, originally elected for life, after 1528 was elected for terms of two years. However, in actuality, the Republic was in fact an oligarchy ruled by a small group of merchant families, from whom the doges were selected.

This video analyzes the maritime policy of the Genoese republic during the Low Middle Ages from her clash against the bitter rival Pisa to the opening of the Atlantic route by the Ligurian Republic, with all its important consequences for Europan History, both for the developement of new trade centers and the Italian contribution to the of the Age of Explorations.
The first part of the video summarises briefly the rise of the the Ligurian Republic from the XI century and the struggle for hegemony on the western Mediterranean, exposing the role played by the Italian maritime republics in the Iberian Reconquista and the Crusades and the hegemony exercised by them on Corsica and Sardinia, as well as the system of domination established there.
In the central part of the video it's instead discussed the ascent of Genoa in the Western Mediterranean following the battle of Meloria (1284), one of the most important naval battles of medieval history, in which the Pisan fleet was annihilated by the Ligurian Republic, leading to the ascent of the latter in the Western Mediterranean, as well as in the Aegean by commission of the Empire of Nicea in marked anti-Venetian function. The Serenissima, seeing her traffsic threatened in the East, fought against Genoa between the XIII and XIV century a very harsh war of attrition against the convoys, allying herself with the nascent Catalan sea-power in order to weaken the power of the Ligurian Republic in her own waters.
The conclusive part of the video instead analyzes the progressive shift of the Genoese of their main commercial axis towards the Atlantic route because of the unbearable costs of the prolonged war, thus leaving the hegemony in the Mediterranean to Venice and Aragon. The new policy was a success: the Genoese relations with the Muslim kingdom of Granada in an anti-Aragonese function opened the Strait of Gibraltar to the Ligurians, while the sudden European shortage of spices coming from the east granted Genoa the monopoly of this good from the Andalusian markets. The process witnessed a decline in French Mediterranean ports.

The Republic of Genoa extended over modern Liguria and Piedmont, Sardinia, Corsica, Nice and had practically complete control of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Through Genoese participation on the Crusades, Genoese colonies were established in the Middle East, in the Aegean, in Sicily and Northern Africa.
In 1729, in the island-wide uprising of the Corsicans against the Genoese Republic, the Greeks remained loyal to the Genoese and, as a result, their houses were burned and looted.
It was a very busy, rich colony of the Republic of Genoa, and Genoese merchants established a thriving trading port city there ... The Muslim Mongols had sold Kaffa to the Christian Genoese some time earlier in that century.
