Genoa and the Spanish empire: The Genoese republic and Iberian Genoese merchant communities

  • Summary

  • The Spanish empire was not solely built by Castilian and Aragonese people. This doesn't solely apply to the consolidation of royal authority in the Americas, as I explained in our last episode. Genoese merchants and financiers, as well as the republic of Genoa, were key participants in this early modern empire, and the presence of Genoese merchants in the Iberian peninsula even dates back to the Late Middle Ages. So I decided to dedicate an interview to their history. For this episode I interviewed Dr. Richard Ibarra, to whom I'm very thankful. He wrote his Ph.D. thesis on Genoese merchants in Seville and the Spanish Atlantic (1450-1650).
