Treaty of Turin (1381)
1381 treaty ending the War of Chioggia / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the 14th-century treaty between Genoa and Venice. For other treaties of the same name, see Treaty of Turin (disambiguation).
The Peace of Turin of 1381, ended the War of Chioggia (1376–81), in which Venice, allied with Cyprus and Milan, had narrowly escaped capture by the forces of Genoa, Hungary, Austria, Padua and the Patriarchate of Aquileia. Venice had overcome this crisis, forcing the surrender of the Genoese fleet at Chioggia, fighting a second Genoese fleet to a standstill in the Adriatic, and turning Austria against Padua, thus forcing its most threatening landward opponent into retreat. However, the war had been extremely costly for Venice, and it was only able to secure peace by making major concessions to its opponents.
