Bàsso de Zêna - "Anthem" of the Republic of Genoa

Описание: "Bàsso de Zêna" (in Italian: Basso di Genova) was the piece of music that represented the Republic of Genoa in the various courts of Europe. It was almost like an ancestor of the concept of national anthem.

The Republic of Genoa (Repúbrica de Zêna, in Ligurian language) was a medieval and early modern maritime republic from the 11th century to 1797 in Liguria on the northwestern Italian coast. During the Late Middle Ages, it was a major commercial power in both the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea. Between the 16th and 17th centuries, it was one of the major financial centers in Europe.
Throughout its history, the Genoese Republic established numerous colonies throughout the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, including Corsica from 1347 to 1768, Monaco, Southern Crimea from 1266 to 1475, and the islands of Lesbos and Chios from the 14th century to 1462 and 1566, respectively. With the arrival of the early modern period, the Republic had lost many of its colonies, and had to shift its interests and focus on banking. This decision would prove successful for Genoa, which remained as one of the hubs of capitalism, with highly developed banks and trading companies.
