Jews expelled from Genoa

On the 8th of Tammuz 1567 (acknowledged this year on June 28th, 2012) Jews expelled from Genoa.

The two prior expulsions of 1515 and 1550 were local. This decree was extended to the entire republic. Within a few years a limited number of Jews, specifically those engaged in money lending and business, were again allowed to live there.

Also on the 8th of Tammuz in 1834 Queen-Mother Maria Christina, of Spain abolished the Inquisition. The Spanish Inquisition was finally abolished after nearly three and one half centuries.
