This Special Issue focuses on the inter-connection between the Ottoman world and the Western Europe in the Quattrocento and Cinquecento; in specific, the idea is to work on the reciprocal imaginary that the Ottoman sultanate and the European–Italian potentates reciprocally played in this specific age.

The argument is open to a multi-disciplinary approach able to consider the historical, religious, political, artistic, and literary approaches as international relations topics, with the task of emphasizing an increase in the academic debate on it.
