Forgive me but whenever turks tried to conquer italy we killed tenthousands of turks and they ran away.
But i have to correct this mistake for the non-Turkish readers.
Ottoman invasion of Otronto.
Siege
On July 28, 1480, an Ottoman fleet of 128 ships -including 28 galleys - arrived near the Neapolitan city of Otranto. On 11 August, after a 15-day siege, Gedik Ahmed ordered the final assault. When the walls were breached the Ottomans began fighting their way through the town to the cathedral and citadel. A total of 12,000 were killed and 5,000 enslaved,
Martyrs of Otranto[edit]
Following the city's capture, the Ottomans launched a raid to round up all the remaining male citizens. Up to 800 men were told to convert to Islam or be slain. After refusing to convert, they all were led to the Hill of Minerva on August 14 were they were executed one-by-one.
Stalled advance
In August 1480, 70 ships of the fleet attacked Vieste. On September 12, the Monastero di San Nicholas di Casole, which accommodated one of the richer libraries of Europe, was destroyed. By October attacks had been conducted against the coastal cities of Lecce, Taranto and Brindisi.
Recapture
The Christian forces besieged the city on May 1, 1481. However on May 3 the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, Mehmed II, died without the quarrels about his succession being finalized. The subsequent succession crisis resulted in the failure to send Ottoman reinforcements to relieve Otranto. The Turkish garrison in Otranto was forced to negotiate with the Christian forces
which permitted the Turks to withdraw to Albania.
Aftermath
The number of citizens, said to have been nearly 20,000 (a figure disputed by recent research), had decreased to 8,000 by the end of the century.
Out of fear of another attack, many of these left the city in the following decades.
