This essay aims to analyse a series of maritime events, mostly of a war-like nature (naval clashes, acts of piracy, arming of military fleets), which have potential implications for the geopolitical, strategic and economic interests of the Duchy of Milan and other European States (the Kingdom of France, the Crown of Aragon and the Kingdom of Naples) in the Western Mediterranean, and more especially in the Ligurian area, during the second half of the 15th Century. The object of the investigation will be the correspondence transmitted from Alessandria and other urban towns and villages of the surrounding territory to the authorities of the central government of the Duchy of Milan, during the reigns of Francesco I Sforza (1450-66), Galeazzo Maria Sforza (1466-76) and Gian Galeazzo Maria Sforza (1476-94)

Abstract
This essay aims to analyse a series of maritime events, mostly of a war-like nature (naval clashes, acts of piracy, arming of military fleets), which have potential implications for the geopolitical, strategic and economic interests of the Duchy of Milan and other European States (the Kingdom of France, the Crown of Aragon and the Kingdom of Naples) in the Western Mediterranean, and more especially in the Ligurian area, during the second half of the 15th Century. The object of the investigation will be the correspondence transmitted from Alessandria and other urban towns and villages of the surrounding territory to the authorities of the central government of the Duchy of Milan, during the reigns of Francesco I Sforza (1450-66), Galeazzo Maria Sforza (1466-76) and Gian Galeazzo Maria Sforza (1476-94)
