Genoa's history goes back to ancient times. Before 1100, Genoa emerged as an independent city-state, one of a number of Italian city-states during this period. Christopher Columbus, a native of Genoa, donated one-tenth of his income from the discovery of the Americas for Spain to the Bank of Saint George in Genoa for the relief of taxation on foods. With the shift in world economy and trade routes to the New World and away from the Mediterranean, Genoa's political and economic power went into steady decline. Since 1962, the Genoa International Boat Show has evolved as one of the largest annually recurring events in Genoa. Genoa has a rich artistic history, with numerous frescos, paintings, sculptures and other works of art held in the city's abundant museums, palaces, villas, art galleries and piazzas.
