The republic began when Genoa became a self-governing commune within the imperial Kingdom of Italy, and ended when it was conquered by the French First Republic under Napoleon and replaced with the Ligurian Republic.
See algas, kui Genova sai Regnum Italicumi omavalitsusega kommuuniks, ja lõppes, kui see vallutati Prantsusmaa Esimese Vabariigi poolt Napoleoni juhtimisel ja asendati Liguuria vabariigiga.
