Summary "Carta de hum cidadam de Genova a hum seu correspondente em Londres" by Anonymous is a historical account likely written in the mid-18th century. The book details the events surrounding the tumultuous period of the War of the Austrian Succession, specifically focusing on the hardships faced by the citizens of Genoa under Austrian military pressure and taxation. The narrative offers insight into the struggles of a populace pushed to the brink of rebellion due to oppressive demands from foreign forces. The letter provides a vivid description of the escalating tensions between the Genoese people and the Austrian military, as well as the government's efforts to manage the situation. It recounts how the public's resentment grew due to exorbitant taxes and military threats, culminating in a revolt when the military attempted to seize arms for their campaigns. As the citizens band together in defiance, the narrative unfolds a sequence of confrontations leading to the expulsion of Austrian troops from Genoa. Throughout the account, the author emphasizes the loyalty of the Genoese to their government and the underlying desire for freedom amidst their suffering, presenting a powerful commentary on resistance against oppression.
