Genoa has an incredible story to tell. It rose from an obscurity imposed by its harsh geography to become a merchant-pirate superpower that helped create the medieval world. It fought bitter battles with its great rival Venice & imprisoned Marco Polo, as the feuding city states connected Europe to the glories of the East. It introduced the Black Death to Europe, led the fight against the Barbary Corsairs, bankrolled Imperial Spain, & gave the world Christopher Columbus & a host of fearless explorers. Genoa & Liguria provided the brains & the heroism behind the Risorgimento, & was the last place emigrants saw before building new lives across the Atlantic. It played host to writers & Grand Tourists, gave football to the Italians, & helped build modern Italy. Today, along with the glorious Riviera coast of Liguria, Genoa provides some of the finest places on earth to sip wine, eat pesto & enjoy spectacular views. This book brings the past alive & paints a portrait of a modern port city & region that is only now coming to terms with a past that is as bloody, fascinating & influential as any in Europe. ...
