Serenissima is the new Ystari edition of the 1996 game (Méditerranée in France). The rules have been updated and the game is more fluid.

In Serenissima players represent a merchant family during the Renaissance. Players attempt to balance the need of trading and open commerce versus the cut-throat economic piracy of the day. Players create a fleet of ships to purchase and move various commodities around the Mediterranean while also keeping well manned ships to attack and defend against other player's fleets.
Board
The maritime areas are bigger and there are fewer of them. Starting ports are different too: Alexandria is one of them in the new version.

Resources and Trade
One of the resources has changed (marble replaces gems) and the ports produce different resources compared to the 1996 version. In the 1996 version, when buying goods from a port owned by another player, you had to bargain. It could be hard. Now, you just pay them 1 ducat, instead of paying the bank.
Wine is now special: one port with wine in its warehouse is worth more VP at the end of the game.

Game Flow (big point)
In the 1996 version, all the players used to bid for turn order. Then, they all played the phases according to this order: they loaded, built and bought, then they all moved their galleys, they fought and finally they took over free ports and made money.
There's no bidding anymore. Now, the galleys you build are numbered, and when it's the turn of one specific galley, its owner can perform their actions (load, move and fight, or build), before the next galley is the active one. If your galleys have successive numbers, you can play several times.
The little flags that used to be awkwardly fixed on the galleys are now useless, and the men have to be in the player's colour (instead of being a nice bunch of nice Sailor Smurfs).
This is a major difference, the game is radically altered.

Counts and Victory Points
There are several counts in the game, and not only one at the end of the game. What's more: another kind of count can bring players money if they have wine in their warehouse. All of that depends on the drawn cards at the end of a galleys' turn. The pace of the game may be altered by those cards, too.
There is no card in the 1996 version.
In this old version, the only way to have your port well valued at the end of the game was to have its warehouses full. It's now different too: a port with one good is better than one with none, but worse than one with two, etc.

Other Changes
There's a building more: basilic. It brings more VP.
Galleys are easier to build but the price is not the same.
Combat rules are very different, the fort has a different power. Dice are different too.
Port limits to recruit sailors are different.
2 and 3 players rules are different.
...and this list is all but exhaustive.

A good value for the money.
Number of Items: 1
Chair was very easy to assemble. It is a lightweight chair but not cheap. I find it comfortable and the controls work well. Extra bolts are provided which is a great feature. I find the adjustable back support excellent, the head rest moves a little to easily, but it is easy to adjust while sitting.

Overall good chair for a good price
Number of Items: 1
Comfortable chair, but there's a very slight lean. I haven't yet managed to track down what's causing it, but as I slowly spin around, I find myself tilting slightly forward, then left, then back, then right... I've removed the casters and then removed/reinstalled the "ring" of legs, so the next place to check is the connection between the post and seat.

Great chair, only one issue.
Number of Items: 1
As someone who is exactly 6ft tall, this chair is just about perfect for my height and body type. High quality materials, adjustable lumbar support, very ergonomic. Visually, it works well with my desk setup. It has already helped me improve my posture ten-fold. My only complaint might be that the tension on the recline joint is too much. Twisting it to the loosest setting doesn’t feel loose enough, you’ll need to put your feet up on something to recline comfortably and stay in that position. Other than that, great chair. I don’t see myself returning this one.
