The Peace of Bagnolo checks Venetian expansion …

Years: 1484 - 1484

The Peace of Bagnolo checks Venetian expansion in the terra firma, ceding to it the town of Rovigo and a broad swath of the fertile delta of the Po.

This acquisition agreed upon at Bagnolo marks the high-point of Venetian territory; never again will Venice control so large a territory nor have so much influence as it does in the last half of the fifteenth century.

Nevertheless, Sixtus is not pleased with the terms reached without consulting him.

When the ambassadors declared to him the terms of the treaty he is thrown into a violent rage, and declares the peace to be at once shameful and humiliating.

Suffering from gout, he dies on the following day, August 12, 1484.
