    Description: For centuries the Most Serene Republic of Venice and the Ottoman State danced between war and peace, between the desire for expansion and domination and mutual commercial and diplomatic needs. The book covers 120 years of history, including the rise and fall of two political and military realities that characterised the 15th and 16th centuries, but it does so above all "through the eyes" of the protagonists and those contemporary with the events. The "image of the Turk" is therefore conveyed mainly through the use of primary sources (often still unexplored or rarely published) and embraces many aspects: not only conflicts and battle narratives, but also cultural, religious, economic and artistic aspects. The book touches on the different fields of interaction between Westerners, especially Venetians, and Ottomans, analysing the elements of contrast, but also of proximity and mutual fusion and influence, in an attempt to reconstruct events and atmospheres around these two great states, structuring History as a compelling and unpredictable novel.
    Description: La Serenissima Repubblica di Venezia e lo Stato Ottomano hanno per secoli danzato tra guerra e pace, tra volontà di espansione e dominio e vicendevoli necessità commerciali e diplomatiche. L’opera abbraccia 120 anni di storia, tra ascese e declini di due realtà politiche e militari caratterizzanti il XV e XVI secolo, facendolo però soprattutto “con gli occhi” dei protagonisti e dei contemporanei agli eventi. L’“immagine del Turco” è pertanto trasmessa soprattutto tramite l’utilizzo di fonti primarie (spesso ancora inesplorate o raramente edite) e abbraccia molti aspetti: non solo conflitti e narrati di battaglie, ma anche aspetti culturali, religiosi, economici ed artistici. Il libro tocca i diversi campi delle interazioni tra occidentali, specialmente veneziani, e ottomani, analizzando gli elementi di contrasto, ma anche di vicinanza e di reciproca fusione ed influenza, nel tentativo di ricostruire eventi e atmosfere attorno a questi due grandi Stati, strutturando la Storia come un avvincente ed imprevedibile romanzo.
