République ligurienne
With the fall of the Genoese Republic to the French forces of Napoleon Bonaparte, Ameglia became, on December 2, 1797, part of the short-lived Ligurian Republic. It was located in the Department of the Gulf of Venus, whose capital was La Spezia. Reorganizations placed Ameglia in the Jurisdiction of Lunigiana in 1798 and the Jurisdiction of the Gulf of Venus in 1803. After the Ligurian Republic was directly annexed by France, the town was part of the department of the Apennins from June 1805 to Napoleon's fall in 1814.
