La Livornina

Our Ruler Title is drafting a charter, La Livornina, that would throw open Livorno to Jewish and converso merchants on terms as generous as any state in Christendom has yet offered, freedom of worship, exemption from the badge, and the right to trade on equal footing with our own subjects. The port's older merchant families are not entirely pleased at the thought of the competition such generosity will invite.

historical_info = d009_sephardi_diaspora.6.historical_info Ferdinando I de' Medici issued La Livornina in 1593, offering Jewish and converso merchants exceptionally generous terms, exemption from wearing a distinguishing badge, freedom of worship, and equal legal standing with Christian merchants, specifically to build up Livorno as a trading port. The charter succeeded remarkably well, and Livorno's Jewish community grew into one of the most prosperous and least restricted in early modern Italy.
