- Title
- Della famiglia Fiesca
- Description
- Federici, born around 1570, was from a well-to-do Ligurian family with deep ties to the Genoese ruling class. Rising through the ranks of civic offices, Federici became a Senator of the Republic of Genoa in 1646. His writings on Genoese antiquities earned him commissions from the government to write official histories of Genoa, including the origins and characteristics of its noble families. His encomiastic final work, Della famiglia Fiesca, was considered by many to be subversive, as only a few years prior Giovanni Luigi Fieschi had conspired against the Doria family that ruled Genoa at the time.
