Ambrogio Di Negro
Ambrogio Di Negro (Genoa, 1519 - Genoa, August 1601) was the 75th Doge of the Republic of Genoa. Biography According to the writings of the historians of the time, Ambrogio Di Negro's dogato was not easy for the continuous noble struggles, made of crime, and internal political problems, so much so that several times the Genoese government was called to revise and reform criminal justice; maneuvers that then, in fact, were minimally implemented or with not really significant results. In various memoirs, Ambrogio Di Negro's personality is described as "haughty and superb", a change of character perhaps explainable in the difficult events of his two-year term. After the end of his mandate as Doge, he preferred to retire from Genoese political life. Di Negro died in Genoa in August 1601.

Gerolamo Chiavari
Gerolamo Chiavari (Genoa, 1521 - Genoa, 1586) was the 74th Doge of the Republic of Genoa. Biography Like the mandate of his predecessor, the biennial government of the doge Gerolamo Chiavari also severely affected the banditry prevailing in the city and in the rest of the republican territory. A phenomenon that reached its historical minimum thanks to the constant commitment of Giorgio Centurione who for his efforts was exempted, as well as the members of his family, from the Senate from the payment of taxes in the future. Chiavari ended his mandate on November 4, 1585 and presumably did not have time to cover further state commitments as he died in Genoa in the early months of 1586.

Davide Vacca
Davide Vacca (Genoa, 1518 - Genoa, 1607) was the 76th Doge of the Republic of Genoa. Biography A well-known notary and graduate in civil and canon law, Davide Vacca was one of the first members of the "Venerandum Collegium Dominorum Jurisperitorum et Judicum civitatis Januae". He had excellent relations with the Doria family and in particular friendly relations with the famous admiral Andrea Doria who favored the entry of his family into the Albergo of the Genoese nobility on the occasion of the state reform of 1528. His name was chosen by the Grand Council for the leadership of the Republic on 14 November 1587, the thirty-first in biennial succession and the seventy-sixth in republican history. Among the important events of Vacca's doge's mandate were the constant disagreements and contrasts with the neighboring Duchy of Savoy in territorial matters. He ended his government on 14 November 1589, which was presumably followed by the office of perpetual attorney and other repres ...

The 16th century began with the Julian calendar, Julian year 1501 (represented by the Roman numerals MDI) and ended with either the Julian or the Gregorian calendar, Gregorian year 1600 (MDC), depending on the reckoning used (the Gregorian calendar introduced a lapse of 10 days in October 1582). The Renaissance in Italy and Europe saw the emergence of important artists, authors and scientists, and led to the foundation of important subjects which include accounting and political science. Copernicus proposed the Copernican heliocentrism, heliocentric universe, which was met with strong resistance, and Tycho Brahe refuted the theory of celestial spheres through observational measurement of the SN 1572, 1572 appearance of a Milky Way supernova. These events directly challenged the long-held notion of an immutable universe supported by Ptolemy and Aristotle, and led to major revolutions in astronomy and science. Galileo Galilei became a champion of the new sciences, invented the first ...
