 | | Genoa lost Sardinia to Aragon, Corsica to internal revolt and its Middle Eastern colonies to the Ottoman Empire and the Arabs. | | | Following the economic and population collapse, Genoa adopted the Venetian model of government, and was presided over by a doge (see Doges of Genoa). | | | The collapse of the Crusader States was offset by Genoaâs alliance with the Byzantine Empire, which opened opportunities of expansion into the Black Sea and Crimea. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Genoa |
| | The commercial favour shown by the Latin Empire of Constantinople (1204-60) towards the Venetians enabled the latter to defeat the Genoese at St-Jean d'Acre and on the high seas, in 1257 and 1258 respectively. | | | At Laiazzo, on the coast of Armenia, the Genoese were victorious (1294); the Venetians retaliated by destroying the Genoese quarter of Galato (1296), but in 1298 Lamba Doria (founder of the Doria family, famous in the annals of Genoa) totally destroyed the Venetian fleet at Curzola. | | | In the Bosphorus (1352), a fierce but indecisive battle was fought; while at Alghero in Sardinia (1353) the Genoese were defeated by the Venetians and their allies. |

| | Propertalia - The Definitive Guide to Buying Property in Genoa, Italy |
| | Genoa (Italian Genova, Genoese Zena (zay'nah), French Gênes) is a city and a seaport in northern Italy, the capital of Liguria. | | | Alternatively, the name has been claimed to derive from Latin Janua ("gate"), the two-headed god Janus, or an ancient word that means "foreigners", as the early settlers were considered foreign by the neighbouring population. | | | The city's origins are dated back to the 6th and 5th centuries B.C. Faithful to Rome while other Ligurian and Celtic peoples of modern Northern Italy stood by Carthaginians in the Second Punic War, Genoa lost its importance as a Roman port city after the rise of Vada Sabatia, near Savona. |
