Project title: The Genoese colonies of Cagliari and Naples. Two merchant communities compared through the perspective of the consul of the nation (17th-18th centuries)

Observed at a closer scale, national associations instead show the characteristics of complex and multi-layered entities, whose internal articulation reflects, in a completely autonomous manner with respect to the instructions received from the land of origin, the variable degree of integration of the colony and its members with local society and institutions. While for the Genoese colonies these aspects have been extensively investigated up to the central years of the 1600s, there is a lack of studies that shed light on these dynamics at the turn of the 17th century and for the 18th century. The present research therefore aims to comparatively analyze the evolution of the Genoese colonies in the Mediterranean space between the seventeenth and the eighteenth century within the Genoese commercial diasporic network, using the directives of the office of the consular magistracy of the Republic of Genoa as its main source.
