Press

Turks to All: The absence of Austria on the rear does Venice too strong and if we leave him to grow, at the end he becomes unassailable. The Doge has 7 cities and 11 provinces and no-one intend to attack him. My defenses are very few, so when all the Adriatic sea will be in Doge’s hands who will be able to block him????

Venice to Milan and the Pope: I am moving back to Ferrara. Am wanting you to avoid temptation, your Holiness.
