The Battle Of Lepanto – 7 October 1571. An unpublished Hospitaller account.
The principal aim behind this book is to show how Abbot Luca Cenni (1623-85) has portrayed the events of 7 October 1571, when a combined Christian fleet destroyed the Ottoman armada off Lepanto. This punitive expedition against the Turks had been organized by Pope Pius V together with Spain and Venice after the siege and fall of Cyprus, a Venetian stronghold, the preceding year.
