Peace of Turin
Italy [1381]
Quick Summary
The Peace of Turin, signed in 1381, concluded the Naval War of Chioggia between Venice and Genoa. This conflict, primarily fought in the Adriatic Sea, saw Genoa initially defeat Venetian forces and occupy Chioggia in 1378 as a base to attack Venice. However, the Genoese fleet was blockaded and eventually surrendered due to hardship and starvation. The resulting treaty eliminated Genoese political influence in the Mediterranean and the East, establishing Venice as the dominant maritime power.12
