Memorie che possono servire alla vita di Vettor Pisani.

Pisani (1324-80) was a Venetian admiral who successfully defeated the Genovese in the war of Chioggia between 1379 and 1381, a struggle for domination between Genoa and Venice.

His name was given to a ship in the Italian navy around 1900 as well as to a submarine in WWII.
