Notes
Gaspare Sauli was a "jacobin noble" and a prominent political figure in the Ligurian Republic. He was in Nice in 1793 and makes contact with members of the Convention, to whom he passes useful information for the subsequent occupation of Oneglia. Back in Genoa, he was among the rebel aristocrats who demanded constitutional reform in 1794 and spent time in prison. Banned from the city, he went to Milan and from there to France, where he joined the circle of political exiles in Paris. He returned to Italy following Napoleon's advance, and occupied important roles in the new democratic republic established by the French in Liguria in 1797. With Gaetano Marré he founded the newspaper Il Difensore della Libertà (1797-98). He turned Bonapartist and continued to hold high office in the imperial administration.
