As an important harbour town Genoa developed the making of sturdy sails for their ships. The strong fabric of which sails were made became popular among sailors as it was cheap and sturdy. Genoa in Latin used to be written with a J instead of a G. The sturdy fabric became known as: Bleu de Gênes.

The fact that the Genoese had possessions from Chios to Corsica really shows how great there hegemony was. Now wonder they fought such brutal wars with the Venetians over power in the Mediterranean!

Very interesting video about the history of Genoa! I've always been fascinated by this city and its rich history. I'm particularly interested in its role in the Crusades and the Renaissance

There are those so powerful and feared on the sea that England pays an annual fee to them for permission to hoist their flag and scare away pirates, and those who build sinking cities in swamps.
