1499- Italy threatened by the invasions of the Turks

After Constantinople fell to the hands of the Turks in 1499, Italy became their next target. The Italians begged Saint Joseph for help, the town of Udine in Aquileia is entrusted to St Joseph's protection. The Turks were driven back. For the first time, the enemy is defeated!

Another event highlights the protection of Joseph in Italy. In 1449, the town of Navare, besieged by the duke Louis de Savoie, is protected by the intercession of Joseph.
