In May 1475 a large Turkish
fleet arrived at Kaffa seeking to subordinate the Genoese.
Belonging in 1550 to the cavalier Annibale Mastrogiudice,
became property of the Genoese Cristofaro Grimaldi in 1576.
A ruined historic fortress with tower built by Genoese some 550 years ago is situated on a hill south of the village.
But when the Genoese fleet defected over to the Emperor's side any hope
of a French victory was lost, and by that point both armies were broke and exhausted.
The Genoese Black Sea port city of Kaffa,
on the Crimean peninsula(today, a territory disputed by Russia and Ukraine), was the first site of the Black Death that would eventually ravage Europe.
The English could rely on the Welsh, the Burgundians, and the Portuguese,
while the French made allies out of the Scots, the Genoese, and the Bohemians- they sadly left their Rhapsody at home during the war.
Genoese pesto pasta is a delicious Italian recipe,
whose ingredients main, they are Basil and pine nuts, but many people also put garlic, Since it gives a very good touch and also provides all the properties of garlic to the dish, you are not just few.
