… we won [it] in a very short space of time – just an hour and a half … of their twenty-one galleys we took fifteen with noble captains on board, three transport ships laden with grain and salted meat; we have 2,400 prisoners … over and beyond these prisoners we believe that seven to eight hundred died, either in battle or drowned in the sea.

On the 11th Francesco, lord of Padua, and all the people made a procession to the mother church ‘singing and thanking God for the victory over the Venetians … and there was great joy and revelry, many great feasts in the city, the ringing of church bells, and in the evening fires and illuminations in the open spaces and throughout the whole district’.
