Unknown author [baron Giuseppe Parrilli] Memoria intorno alla battaglia di Navarino Seguita il dì 20 Ottobre 1827.

Library of the Hellenic Parliament
THIS PUBLICATION is attributed to the Italian naval officer, Baron Giuseppe Parrilli. Since he did not witness the naval battle of Navarino him- self, he based his account on contemporary sources and news about the historic naval battle, which took place on October 20, 1827. In the detailed map, a fold-out at the back of the book provides the exact deployment of the opposing fleets in the Gulf of Na- varino, between the port fortress and the island of Sphacteria.
