- For the battle called "Punta Stilo", see Battle of Calabria. The Battle of Stilo or Cape Colonna was fought on 13 or 14 July 982 near Crotone in Calabria between the forces of the Emperor Otto II and his Italo-Lombard allies and those of the Kalbid emir of Sicily, Abu al-Qasim. Some sources claim that the Muslims received support from the Byzantines, in retaliation for Otto's invasion of their province of Apulia, but this is unconfirmed. Al-Qasim, who had declared a Holy War against the Germans, retreated when he noticed the unexpected strength of Otto's troops when he was not far from Rossano Calabro. Informed by some ships of the Muslim retreat, Otto left in that city his wife and children with the baggage and the imperial treasure, and set to pursue the enemy. When al-Qasim recognized that his flight had no hope of success, he fielded his army for pitched battle south of Crotone at Cape Colonna. After a violent clash, a corps of German heavy cavalry destroyed the Muslim centre and pushed towards al-Qasim's guards. The emir was killed, but his troops were not shaken by the loss: they even managed to surround the German troops, slaughtering many of them. According to the historian Ibn al-Athir, casualties were around 4,000. Landulf IV of Benevento, Henry I, Bishop of Augsburg, Günther, Margrave of Merseburg, the Abbot of Fulda and numerous other German counts were among them. The defeat forced Otto to flee north, where he held an assembly of primarily north Italian magnates at Verona. He sent his nephew Otto I, Duke of Swabia and Bavaria, back to Germany with the news, but he died en route. News of the battle did reach as far as Wessex, which is significant of the magnitude of the disaster. Bernard I of Saxony was heading south for the assembly when Danish Viking raids forced him to return. Saxon losses at Stilo had been most severe. At the assemblage, Otto secured his son Otto III's election as King of Italy and a call for reinforcements from Germany. He died the next year before continuing his campaign in the south. The state of the Mezzogiorno was shaken up. Besides Landulf IV, his brothers Pandulf II of Salerno and Atenulf, also died in battle. Though the Kalbid troops were forced to retreat afterwards to Sicily, the Saracens remained a presence in southern Italy, harassing the Greeks and Lombards. Capua and Benevento meanwhile passed to younger branches of the Landulfid family and Salerno was snatched by Manso, Duke of Amalfi. In Germany, the Elbean Slavs, upon hearing news of the emperor's defeat, rose against their German suzerains under Mstivoj in a great revolt known as the Slawenaufstand. The Germanisation and Christianisation of the Slavs was put back for decades.

Selon certaines sources, les Sarrasins bénéficiaient de l'appui des Byzantins, par rétorsion contre l'invasion de la province d'Apulie par Otton, mais cette thèse est controversée.
- La Battaglia di Capo Colonna (conosciuta anche come Battaglia di Stilo) fu combattuta il 13 o 14 luglio 982 vicino Crotone, in Calabria, tra le forze dell’Imperatore Ottone II ed i suoi alleati del Nord, i Longobardi, da un lato, e, dall'altro, quelle di Abu al-Qasim, Emiro della Sicilia della dinastia dei Kalbiti. Alcune fonti affermano che i mussulmani sarebbero stati aiutati dai bizantini stanziati da tempo nell'Italia del Sud, in rappresaglia per l’invasione della Provincia dell’Apulia da parte di Otto, ma non ci sono conferme.
- Bitwa pod Krotoną 14 lipca 982 (zwana też bitwą u przylądka Cap Colonna). W roku 976 zmarł cesarz Bizancjum Jan I Tzimiskes. Osłabione wojną domową cesarstwo ponownie stało się celem ataku Saracenów. Emir Sycylii z dynastii Kalbidów Abu al-Kasim podjął wyprawę do Kalabrii i Apulii oraz spalił Tarent. Wobec bierności Bizancjum cesarz zachodu Otton II podjął się obrony południowych Włoch. U przylądka Cap Colonna na terytorium antycznej Krotony wojska Ottona starły się z armią Abu al-Kasima – lipiec 982. Bitwa zakończyła się klęską rycerstwa germańsko-włoskiego. Sam cesarz ledwo uszedł z życiem tylko dzięki poświęceniu żyda Kalonymosa, który mu ofiarował swojego konia. Ścigany przez Saracenów cesarz schronił się na bizantyńskim okręcie wojennym. Na szczęście dla chrześcijan, w bitwie śmierć poniósł Abu al-Kasim, co położyło chwilowo kres najazdom saraceńskim.
