History

In response to the publication of the pro-Spanish newspaper edited by Michele Castelli since 1639, the pro-French faction in the Republic of Genoa supported the publishing of a newspaper near to its leanings. This newspaper, always named Genova, started the publications before April 1642 even if the older issue still in existence is dated 11 June 1644. The title Di Genova (in English: of Genoa) was kept till 9 July 1644, later it was titled simply Genova. It was published weekly on Saturdays.Шаблон:R The printer up to 25 November 1656 was Giovanni Maria Farroni,Шаблон:Efn later it changed quite quickly, including Pietro Giovanni Calenzani, Francesco Meschini and Gerolamo Marino.Шаблон:R

The editor, who obtained the authorization to print, was Alessandro Botticelli, who previously was a writer of hand-writing newssheets. He continued till 1646, the year in which the pro-French faction intimidated the editor of the other newspaper. The issue of 28 April 1646 was prepared by Giacomo Maria Veronese, and from that month until October 1660 the newspaper passed to Luca Assarino, a well-known writer, journalist and informer.Шаблон:R Under Assarino the newspaper supported the rights of Christine of France as ruler of the Duchy of Savoy against Thomas Francis and cardinal Maurice of Savoy supported by Spain.

Noceti and Tommaso Oderico.Шаблон:R In 1660 Luca Assarino moved to Milan and Botticelli took back the newspaper, which he run at least up to 1665.
