Venedik ve Genoa zihniyet farkı

Venice’s rival Genoa, did not share its centralised efficiency in naval organisation. As it had been for the Vikings, and would be for the English in the sixteenth century, the driving force behind exploration and commercial and military might was individualistic rather than state-directed. Genoa’s military prowess in the later Middle Ages was owing to the zeal of its aristocracy and commercial class, who armed their ships and fought for Genoa’s interests.
