Towards the end of the 14th century, the Genoese occupied Cyprus and Tenedos, a fact that triggered a reaction from the Venetians, who, after an initial success, were defeated at Pola by the Genoese, who occupied Chioggia and besieged Venice. But the Venetians managed to prepare a new fleet and in turn besiege the Genoese at Chioggia, who were forced to surrender. The Peace of Turin (1381), which put an end to the war, caused opposing effects: Genoa, defeated once and for all, was able to keep Cyprus but began a decline that lasted until the 16th century; Venice, the exhausted victor, had to come to terms with its rival’s allies and cede Dalmatia to Hungary, but was able to recover in the 15th century.
