Genoa dominated European Economy (it invented modern economy) for about 5 centuries. Genoese had commercial offices in all Mediterranean Sea Coasts and Europe, it's bankeers were everywhere and all around Europe you can find a genoese mark. Bruges, Sevilla, Paris, Milan, Rome, Istanbul, Gibraltar, Azov, Naples, Palermo, Corsica, Sardinia ecc....
I like the Florentine Republic.
The poets, Dante and Petrarch, and the novelist Boccaccio flourished at Florence.
The Florentines wove in silk and wool, made jewelry, and were the leading bankers of Europe.
