An Ottoman fleet consisting of one hundred galleys had been sent to the Western Mediterranean when Henry II entered in conflict with Charles V in the current Italian War.
The fleet is accompanied by three French galleys under the French ambassador Gabriel de Luetz d'Aramon, who accompanies the Ottomans from Istanbul in their raids along the coast of Calabria in Southern Italy, capturing the city of Reggio.
The Genoese fleet consists of forty galleys under the command of Andrea Doria.
Twenty of the galleys in the Genoese fleet belong personally to Doria, six to an Antonio Doria and two to the House of Grimaldi of Monaco.
The battle between the fleets takes place on August 5, 1552, between the islands of Ponza and Terracina on the Italian mainland. The Ottomans capture seven of the Genoese galleys, which are full of troops.
