A bit history of Genoa. Genoa began in 1528 with the alliance between Charles V the Spanish Emperor and Andrea Doria. In this time, the financial investments prospered throughout Europe and the construction of houses and noble places began. Genoese begin to be concerned with the city taken by Luis XIV of France, in 1684, by bringing the Genoa Republic into the battle of France against Austria. By the victory of Austrian troupes, Genoa again become occupied in 1746, but the Genoese rebelled. It was to remain an aristocratic Republic until 1797. After the Napoleonic interlude, has become annexed to Kingdom of Sardinia.
