Genoa the Superb, 1450
Genoa in 1450 is a powerful maritime republic shaped by commerce, banking and shipbuilding, still contesting influence across the Mediterranean. This walk moves from the busy harbour and Lanterna headland into the dense medieval caruggi, past palaces, markets and shipyards that furnish the city's wealth and daily labour.
35 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 13 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Genoa as it stood in 1450 (“Republic of Genoa”).
