Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Description, Historical and Topographical of Genoa: With Remarks on the Climate, and Its Influence Upon Invalids Genoa is one of the most ancient cities of northern Italy of which authentic records have come down to our times: and in the nature of its climate, its position and extent, as well as in the disposition of its inhabitants, has suffered the lapse of ages with perhaps as little change as any city that can be mentioned. Situated at the head of a great gulf of the Mediterranean, where by an easy communication across the Ligurian Alps it serves as a port for the immense basin of the Po, it has always held an important station in the commercial annals of that beautiful portion of Europe; and, at various periods, has exercised over the political relations of other states an influence by no means commensurate with the narrow extent of its territory. Genoa and Venice comprise within their chronicles almost all the maritime history of Italy posterior to the destruction of the Roman empire: the struggle for mastery between the rival sea-queens was long and doubtful, ending rather in the mutual exhaustion of each state than in the acquisition of superiority by either: and both have affixed their names to conquests and discoveries, which will be remembered as long as the name of Europe exists.
