@Cplakidas: Found this on Brill, pp 202-203:[1]"On his return to Venice after concluding in 1789 an agreement that was supposed to put an end to the piratical activities of the Tunisian pirates, Angelo Emo, the commander of the Venetian fleet, was awarded in Zante a golden sword and a medal coined in his honor." Thought you might be interested in adding this to the article. - LouisAragon (talk) 00:37, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
