JEWS AND GENOA’S MERCHANTS: RIVALS

Genoa’s own great mercantile ambition led the city to ban Jews who were viewed as extremely fearful competitors. Throughout the 16th century, the influence of the Church, and the hostility of the great families of merchants and bankers resulted in the continuous issuing of deportation notices. It was only in 1648, when the free port was established, that Jews were granted permission to settle in the city.

Genoa’s own great mercantile ambition meant Jews were not allowed to reside in the city, since they were viewed as greatly feared rivals. For the whole of the 16th century the influence of the ecclesiastical authority, and the hostility from the great families of merchants and bankers resulted in the issuing of continuous deportation notices. But in 1648, when a free port was established, Jews were given permission to settle in the city.
