Senarica is a village and former tiny city-state republic in Italy, is now contained by the commune of Crognaleto in the Central Italian province of Teramo, west of Teramo city.
With a population of less than 300 people, Senarica was an independent republic for about four centuries until the end of the eighteenth century.
One member of the family is the minor Italian actor Piero Senarica.
In Venice it was used for 1,000 years (from the 8th to the 18th century), and later in Senarica and in the Liguarian capital Genoa (Genova).
This office, like that of Venice, ended with French control of the peninsula.
Another, virtually insignificant, but still styled "most serene republic", was the minute Senarica, named after its capital west of Teramo (in Abruzzo) on Central Italy's Adriatic coast, which also elected dogi, possibly annually, from 1343 till its annexation to the Neapolitan kingdom of Sicily in 1797.
