After twenty years of siege, the decisive hour came for the city of candia in 1668. The turks are also tired and ask the venetians to surrender, which is disdainfully refused by captain francesco morosini. “in such a heat of arms, acmet vìsir despairing of overcoming the city by force, with the help of nicasio panagiotti, his dragoman, wrote to the captain general francesco morosini, urging him to surrender the square, with the promise of making him prince of wallachia and moldavia. But morosini replied to him in this way: money and wealth are nothing. If your lord the king wants those things that are useful and just for both of you, i am ready to acquiesce to his wishes; if they are against it, he doesn't have much gold or silver to persuade me. .
