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.

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.

Banditry
Banditry is a type of organized crime committed by outlaws typically involving the threat or use of violence. A person who engages in banditry is known as a bandit and primarily commits crimes such as extortion, robbery, kidnapping, and murder, either as an individual or in groups.

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).

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.
