Note

the former French department

Gênes () was a department of the First French Empire in present-day Italy. It was named after the city of Genoa. It was formed in 1805, when the Ligurian Republic (formerly the Republic of Genoa) was annexed directly to France. Its capital was Genoa.

The department was disbanded after the defeat of Napoleon in 1814. It was followed by a brief restoration of the Ligurian Republic, but at the Congress of Vienna the old territory of Genoa was awarded to the Kingdom of Sardinia. Its territory is now divided between the Italian provinces of Genoa, Piacenza, Alessandria and Pavia.

Subdivisions

The department was subdivided into the following arrondissements and cantons (situation in 1812):

Genoa, cantons: Genoa (6 cantons), Rivarolo, Nervi, Recco, San Martino d'Albaro, San Quirico, Sestri Ponente, Staglieno, Torriglia and Voltri.
Bobbio, cantons: Bobbio, Ottone, Varzi and Zavattarello.
