First found in Pisa a town in Tuscany, capital of the province of Pisa. Historically, Pisa in it's inter city war in 1003 with Lucca was forced into building its own navy.

But with the Norman Conquest of Sicily they became less profitable. They continued considerable rivalry with Florence and Genoa.
