The book by American historian Steven Epstein is dedicated to medieval Genoa, the most important commercial center not only in Italy, but also throughout Europe in the X-XVI centuries. The author traces the fate of the city over time, telling about the main political actors of Genoa, the most important family clans that influenced the city life, wars with neighbors, colonial expeditions, acute internal conflicts, business development, charity, and the formation of the national debt. The history of this city is of great interest - especially to those who want to understand how the modern world grew out of the late Middle Ages and Renaissance. The study of European modernization is impossible without an analysis of Genoese maritime trade and the economic institutions that emerged in Genoa. The reader will learn how Genoese trade gradually gave birth to a strong economy, how local political institutions were strengthened, and how the city formed the base that would later become the foundation of European modernization.
