RE: "GENOA, under FRENCH rule in the early 1700's"

HELLO
In the EARLY 1700s much of Italy was under the Spanish Habsburgs then
it went to the Austrians.
Here's a timeline:

In the LATE 1700s Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte conquered much of
the "world" including northern Italy. Here's a map:
http://www.arts.uwaterloo.ca/GERM/g272/1811.htm

Napoleon Bonaparte's father Carlo was Corsican of TUSCAN descent and
his mother Letizia Ramolino was Corsican of FLORENTINE/Tuscan descent
(his parents were of the Corsican-Italian Upper Class).(His given name
was Napoleone) He fulfilled his father's dream of getting rid of
Genoa's domination of Corsica ..(he also helped get rid of some of the
Austrians in Italy also)

Before the Unification of Italy there were the separate states of:
The Kingdom of Naples, the Papal States, Lombardy-Venetia, and the
Kingdom of Sardinia.
See Regions and Provinces in Pre-Unification Italy by Frank Arduini
http://www.arduini.net/tools/provinc1.htm

Then after Napolean[e], Sardinia ruled by Victor Emmanuel II, was the
only independent state in Italy and Genova belonged to the Kingdom of
Sardinia.

COUNTLESS items of historic interest on Italy.
