This newspaper, always named Genova, started the publications before April 1642 even if the older issue still in existence is dated 11 June 1644.

[1] The editor, who obtained the authorization to print, was Alessandro Botticelli, who previously was a writer of hand-writing newssheets.

The issue of 28 April 1646 was prepared by Giacomo Maria Veronese, and from that month until October 1660 the newspaper passed to Luca Assarino, a well-known writer, journalist and informer.

In the meantime Botticelli returned to his work as writer of handwritten avvisi, also supporting the pro-Spanish faction, a job he carried out until 1668.

[5]: 35 At least one case of plagiarism of the newspaper Genova is known: the issues of 1 and 22 July 1656 where illegally copied and printed in Bologna by the printer Giacomo Monti.
