Italian city-states
The Italian city-states were self-governing cities of medieval and Renaissance Italy, such as Venice, Genoa, Pisa and Florence. Venice and Genoa in particular built maritime trading networks across the Mediterranean. Under al-Kamil, they established commercial relations with the Ayyubid Empire, bringing European goods into Egyptian markets.
