Onassis was born in Smyrna (modern-day İzmir in Turkey) and fled the city with his family to Greece in 1922 in the wake of the Greco-Turkish War. He moved to Argentina in 1923 and established himself as a tobacco trader and later a shipping owner during the Second World War. Moving to Monaco, Onassis fought Prince Rainer III for economic control of the country through his ownership of SBM and its Monte Carlo Casino. In the mid-1950s, he sought to secure an oil shipping arrangement with Saudi Arabia and engaged in whaling expeditions. In the 1960s, Onassis attempted to establish a large investment contract—Project Omega—with the Greek military junta, and he sold Olympic Airways, which he had founded in 1957. Onassis was greatly affected by the death of his 24-year-old son, Alexander, in a plane crash in 1973, and he died two years later.

In 1503, he fought in Corsica in the service of the Genoese Navy, at that time under the French vassalage, and he took part in the rising of Genoa against the French, whom he forced to leave the city. From that time onwards, he became famous as a naval commander. For several years he scoured the Mediterranean in command of the Genoese fleet. He conducted a  war against the Corsairs, defeating them in the little Island of Pianosa . 

What did he do for Genoa? Andrea Doria was among the greatest generals and admirals of his time; he was at the service of Pope Innocent VII, Emperor Charles V, Ferdinand king of Naples, and his son Alfonso II.

We still have highschool named “Andrea D’oria” in Genoa and we can still admire Andrea Doria’s Palace, called “the Prince Palace”
