PISANI, VETTOR (d. 1380)

This article appears in Volume V21, Page 647 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PIG-POL
PISANI, VETTOR (d. 1380) , Venetian
admiral
 , was in command of the Venetian
fleet
  in 1378 during the war against the Genoese, whom he defeated off Capo d'Anzio; subsequently he recaptured Cattaro,
Sebenico
  and Arbe, which had been seized by the Hungarians, the allies of the Genoese. But the Genoese
fleet
  completely defeated Pisani at Pola in May 1379, and on his return to Venice he was thrown into prison. The enemy now pressed
home
  their victory, and besieged and captured
Chioggia
 , whereby Venice itself was in danger. The
people
  thereupon demanded the liberation of Pisani, in whose skill they had the fullest confidence. The government gave way and appointed the aged
commander
 
admiral
  of the fleet once more. Through his able
strategy
  and daring he recaptured
Chioggia
 , defeated the Genoese and threatened Genoa itself until that republic agreed to peace terms. Pisani died in 138o while on his way to Manfredonia with a
squadron
  to ship provisions.

  Lazzarini, " La morte e it monumento di Vettor Pisani," in the Nuovo archivio veneto, vol.. xi., pt. ii. (1896).
