Coping with Iberian monopolies: Genoese trade networks and formal institutions in Spain and Portugal during the second half of the eighteenth century
No full textThis article explores Genoese trade interests in Cadiz and Lisbon, the two capitals of Iberian colonial trade at the end of the early-modern period. The author aims to explain the persisting intermediary role of a merchant community that has been largely overlooked by historians. The structure of the trade networks established in the two cities will be reconstructed by using the primary sources conserved in the archive of the Durazzos, a powerful aristocratic family of the Republic which has left a unique collection of private correspondence. This sizeable and largely unexplored documentation illuminates the different strategies used to access the Spanish and Portuguese monopolistic systems, the main actors who traded in both contexts, their relations with the local elite, and the nature of the business networks linking Genoese investors in the mother city with the expatriated agents. The author concludes with a comparative analysis of the institutional resources that Genoese used to maintain their interests, with particular attention paid to the religious institutions established by the 'nation' in the two port cities
De Cadix à Buenos Aires : commerce et émigration génoise dans l’Atlantique ibérique (1750-1830)

No full textThe Republic of Genoa was once a major commercial power. Following the Republic's decline in the seventeenth century, Genoese merchants adapted and thrived in the changing Atlantic market. Scholars have examined how other foreign merchant groups operated within the Spanish empire, but until now no one has examined how the Genoese adapted to the challenges of increasing competition in Atlantic trade. Here, Catia Brilli explores how Genoese intermediaries maintained a strong presence in Spanish colonial trade by establishing themselves at the port of Cadiz with its monopoly over American trade, and through gradually consolidating strong commercial ties with the Río de la Plata. Situated at the intersection of European, Atlantic, and Latin American history and making extensive use of Spanish, Italian, and Argentinian sources, Genoese Trade and Migration in the Spanish Atlantic, 1700–1830 provides a unique perspective on eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century transatlantic trade
Integración y episodios de rechazo de la emigración italiana en España y la América Hispana durante el siglo XVIII: una mirada comparativa
No full textThe Genoese Response to the Collapse of the Spanish Empire in America
No full textThis artiele focuses on the effects of the Spanish Empire's crisis on the
Genoese Atlantic trade, which in the early 19th century shifted its main commercial axis
from the port of Cadiz to Buenos Aires and Montevideo. Despite the Republic of Genoa's
intemational marginalization, during the 18th century Ligurians continued to participate
in the Spanish colonial trade due to the persistent productive and naval shortfalls of the
monarchy: the monopolistic port of Cadiz became their main operative center. The Napoleonic
wars, the consequent crisis of the Spanish Empire and the collapse of the oligarchical
republic, which culminated in the annexation of Genoa to the Sardinian kingdom,
decisively damaged the Genoese system of participation in the Carrera de Indias . But the
conjuncture also created the conditions for their autonomous Atlantic adventure. The neutrality
of the Sardinian flag and the traditional ties woven in the Iberían trade allowed
Ligurian ves seis to play an essential role of commercial intermediation between Spain and
the lost colony of Rio de la Plata. Buenos Aires became the new destination of many Ligurían
migrants, who contributed to local economic growth and created tight bonds with the
new host society.Peer reviewe
Da Cadice a Buenos Aires: Crisi e rinascita del commercio ligure nella nuova configurazione dell'atlantico iberico (1797-1837)
No full textDurante el siglo XVIII Cádiz representó el canal principal a través del cual los ligures vehicularon su participación en el comercio americano a la sombra de la bandera española. La caída de la república de Génova, su asimilación al reino de Cerdeña y la crisis del orden colonial provocadas por las guerras napoleónicas pusieron fin al antiguo sistema de articulación del comercio genovés en el Atlántico ibérico, pero crearon también nuevas oportunidades. Este trabajo analiza el papel del puerto gaditano en favorecer la penetración de la marina mercantil sarda en América del Sur en las primeras décadas del siglo XIX, con particular atención a las redes mercantiles que se estructuraron alrededor de las familias genovesas de Cádiz en los años del puerto franco.Peer reviewe
