Maona di Chio e di Focea

Maona di Chio e di Focea

The Maona di Chio e di Focea (1346–1566) was a maona formed to exact taxes for Genoa upon the then-unconquered island of Chios and port of Phocaea; Genoa sold the rights to their taxes to the maona, which raised funds from its investors to buy galleys and conquer those places.
