Then in 1284, after the Battle of Meloria, Genoa defeats Pisa decline of Pisa as a Marine Power. Porto Pisano is abandoned by the Signoria of Florence also because they did not trust the Pisani to the point of leaving the fleet in their hands.
So you can imagine, it's centuries that almost all the Tuscany "hates" Pisa
