Ku dhammee weedhan soo socota: Waxaa dood laga keeni karaa in Otranto loogu tala galay in ay saldhig u noqoto guulo kale. Sikastaba xaalku ha ahaadee, suldaannadii Cusmaaniyiinta ma aysan ka tanaasulin hamigoodii ahaa inay la wareegaan Jasiiradda Talyaaniga iyo inay ugu dambeyntii soo saaraan xukunka Islaamka ka dib markii ay qabsadeen Constantinople. Ka dib markii la qabsaday Ragusa (Dubrovnik) iyo Hungary 1526 iyo guuldaradii ciidanka Turkiga ee
1529kii, ciidamada Turkiga ayaa mar kale weeraray koonfurta Talyaaniga. Reggio waxaa la saaray 1512 kii by khasaaraha caanka ah ee Turkiga Khayr al-Din, oo si fiican loogu yaqaanay Barbarossa; 1526kii Turkiga ayaa mar kale weeraray Reggio, laakiin markan waxay la kulmeen dib u dhac waxayna ku qasbanaadeen inay indhahooda u jeediyaan meelo kale. Sanadkii 1538 waxay jabiyeen ciidankii Venetian-ka. Sanadkii 1539 Nice waxaa weeraray Burcad-badeeda Barbary (Dagaalka Nice), laakiin isku dayga Turkiga ee ka soo degaya Sicily wuu fashilmay, sida isku dayga qabsashada Pantelleria ee 1553 iyo hareeraha Malta ee 1565.
