Repubblica di Genova I. Dominante e Riviere (1700-1815) The final century in the life of a marine Republic, by then extremely rich and powerful and now overwhelmed in the sediment of the Mediterranean by English and French competition, laid prostrate by the interminable war against the Corsican rebels. The declining economic power of the Bank of St. George, the arrogance of the nobles, the commercial flair of the middle classes, the pride of its people, the plebeian revolt against the Austrian occupation in 1747, the first democratic and Jacobin stirrings and the final fall of the aristocratic state with the arrival of the French in 1797.

Repubblica di Genova II. Regno di Corsica (1700-1765) Corsica had been dominated by the Genoese from the 13th century, but in the 18th, exploited and oppressed like a colony of the far off Americas, it broke out in proud rebellion that exhausted the Republic. The latter was first forced to ask for French intervention and then to sell the island to the King of France. This decades-long revolt by a “primitive” mountain population against the greedy merchants excited the enthusiasm of Rousseau, who wrote a constitutional project for Corsica. He called adventurers of every type to the island, like the German Theodor von Neuhof, who was acclaimed by the islanders, proclaimed king and ended up in a debtors’ prison in London, where he had gone to look for funds. In Pasquale Paoli the island finally had a leader whom the whole of enlightened Europe could admire

Stati Sabaudi III. Genovesato (1815-1860) The Vienna Congress gave the territory of the ancient Republic of Genoa to the House of Savoy in 1815. The territory was not, however, happy. It loved its traditional independence and autonomy and felt oppressed by remote and reactionary Turin. The mentality of the new Piedmontese rulers was very different to that of the Genoese merchants. The union did, however, have its advantages. The port acquired an extensive hinterland, the merchant navy flourished once more, Genovese colonies were established in South America, developing commercial relationships with these new countries and the new steam ships took the flag of the House of Savoy to the far-off waters of the Atlantic and the Pacific.

Stati Sabaudi II. Regno di Sardegna (1720-1860) Sardinia was granted to the House of Savoy in 1720. It gave them a royal title, but far more expense than profit. It was a wild land, devoted to sheep farming, with archaic social structures. The strange features of the island are still noticeable today, but were far more accentuated in the 18th and early 19th centuries. They are described here by Sardinian, continental and foreign authors, who were fascinated by the island’s primitive virtues as much as by its vices.
