The Battle of Saseno took place on 14 August 1264 near Saseno island off the coast of Albania, between a fleet of the Republic of Genoa and a trade convoy of the Republic of Venice, during the War of Saint Sabas. So far in the war, the Genoese had experienced only defeats in direct confrontations with the Venetian navy, and had therefore resorted to raiding the Venetian commerce convoys to the Levant, which were critical to the Venetian economy.

  • The Battle of Saseno took place on 14 August 1264 near Saseno island off the coast of Albania, between a fleet of the Republic of Genoa and a trade convoy of the Republic of Venice, during the War of Saint Sabas. So far in the war, the Genoese had experienced only defeats in direct confrontations with the Venetian navy, and had therefore resorted to raiding the Venetian commerce convoys to the Levant, which were critical to the Venetian economy. In mid-1264, the Genoese commander, Simone Grillo, managed to trick his Venetian counterpart, Andrea Barozzi, as to his intentions: Grillo spread rumours that he intended to head due east to the Levant, whereas he secretly took up station at Malta, south of the usual sea lanes. When Barozzi took the bait and moved east to pursue Grillo with his much larger fleet, the latter was free to attack the Venetian convoy. Confident of the absence of any threat, the convoy commander, Michele Duaro, was caught by surprise when he encountered the Genoese fleet off Saseno. The much more manoeuvreable Genoese galleys captured or sunk most of the convoy's slow-moving merchant ships, except for the giant cargo vessel (nave) Roccafortis, where Duaro rallied his crews for safety. The cost of the convoy's loss to Venice was estimated at 100,000 Genoese pounds. Venice was able to destroy the Genoese fleet two years later, however, and in 1270 the two states concluded a truce that ended the war. (en)
  • La battaglia di Saseno ebbe luogo il 14 agosto 1264 al largo dell'isola di Saseno, sulla costa dell'odierna Albania, tra la flotta della Repubblica di Genova e un convoglio commerciale (muda) della Repubblica di Venezia. Tale battaglia è all'interno della Guerra di San Saba. Durante la guerra i genovesi avevano subito solo sconfitte negli scontri diretti con la marina veneziana (Acri e Settepozzi) e avevano cambiato strategia compiendo atti di pirateria nei confronti dei convogli commerciali veneziani. Il comandante genovese, Simone Grillo riusci ad ingannare il suo omologo veneziano Andrea Barocio facendogli arrivare delle informazioni errate su dove fosse. Quando Barocio mosse per intercettare Grillo capeggiando una flotta di 50 galere (quella genovese era di 20 galere) lasciò sguarnita la muda veneziana diretta verso il levante. I genovesi liberi di agire attaccarono di sorpresa la muda catturando o affondando la maggior parte delle navi, ad eccezione della grande nave Roccaforte. Finito l'assedio presero il carico. Il costo della perdita del convoglio a Venezia fu stimato in 100.000 lire genovesi. (it)
