The book of the American historian Stephen Epstein is dedicated to the medieval Genoa-the most important commercial center of not only Italy, but throughout Europe in the X-XVI centuries. The author traces the fate of the city for a long time, talking about the main political actors of Genoa, about the most important family clans that influenced city life, about wars with neighbors, colonial expeditions, acute internal conflicts, business development, charity, and the formation of public debt. The history of this city is of great interest - especially for those who want to understand how the modern world grew out of the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Studies of European modernization are impossible without the analysis of Genoese marine trade and economic institutions that arose in Genoa. The reader learns how gradually a strong economy was born from Genoese trade, how local political institutions were strengthened and how the city formed the base that would then become the basis of European modernization
