The Genoese Response to the Collapse of the Spanish Empire in America

REA Auditado

This artiele focuses on the effects of the Spanish Empire's crisis on the
Genoese Atlantic trade, which in the early 19th century shifted its main commercial axis
from the port of Cadiz to Buenos Aires and Montevideo. Despite the Republic of Genoa's
intemational marginalization, during the 18th century Ligurians continued to participate
in the Spanish colonial trade due to the persistent productive and naval shortfalls of the
monarchy: the monopolistic port of Cadiz became their main operative center.

This collection presents 41 motion pictures and 28 sound recordings that tell the story of life and work on the Ninety-Six Ranch and of its cowboys, known in the region as buckaroos.

Objective documentation of architecture is achievable through a combination of simple techniques. About eight years ago, I set up a photogrammetry laboratory to record architectural heritage for the Spanish Ministry of Culture; it was equipped with traditional photogrammetry instruments: large format metric cameras (Zeiss UMK and SMK) as well as analogical (Zeiss Topocart D) and analytical high precision plotters (Wild Aviolyt BC2). While the high-precision results were excellent, they were achieved at great cost.
