• Sommario/riassunto: This scholarly work explores the complex history of republicanism in Genoa during the early modern period, spanning from the city's consolidation under Andrea Doria in 1528 to its decline following the French bombardment in 1684. Edited by Enrico Zucchi and Alessandro Metlica, the book examines Genoa's unique position as a republic amidst the monarchies of Europe, highlighting its internal political divisions, connections to Spain and France, and the nuanced concept of liberty within its oligarchic system. Through essays by various contributors, it delves into themes such as Genoese identity, the role of art and literature in political communication, and the Republic's external perceptions compared to other republican states like Venice. This comprehensive study is intended for historians and researchers interested in political theory, European history, and the interplay between republican and monarchical powers during the early modern era.
