Abstract
In the Early Modern period, Venice was the city that housed the largest number of Greeks within its walls. Moreover, thanks to its geographical proximity to the Balkans, both the south of the Italian peninsula and Sicily became a powerful magnet for the Hellenes. With the incorporation of the Kingdom of Naples into the Empire of Charles V, this territory became even more attractive in the eyes of the Greeks, who dreamed of a military campaign by the emperor in their homelands.
