The ship was contracted to head down to Napoli, pick up wine, and then take this wine to the fleet which was then engaged in the War of Candia. They were visiting French ships and those of the Knights of Malta in the bay of S. Niccolo/Standia when the ship of the ‘generalissimo’, Vincenzio Rospigliosi (the Pope’s nephew), arrived, and their ship got caught standing too close while the ships of the fleet saluted the arrival of their chief. Thanks to the plosive force of the firing cannons, the boxed containing the wine supposedly came loose and scattered. Beyond this damage, the General of Candia forced the captain to give him 100 empty boxes for the use of the Piazza there without payment. For this he made a consolato on board one of the Pope’s galleys.

The ship then went about from port to port finding things to take back to Livorno in turn, eventually deciding to load up on grain. It put in at the port of Milazzo in order to take on water, to deposit some merchandise, and because two large ships were standing of the Island of Stromboli and it was thought they might be enemies. Round about Baia, about 60 miles off the shore, they ran into a storm and to escape it were forced to head back south. They wished to anchor at Stromboli but the bad weather made it impossible to tell the depth of the water – they therefore returned to Sicily.

A consolato was made in Milazzo because the captain felt that a portion of the cargo had probably been soaked. When the bad weather had abated, the ship made it to Livorno without further mishap. The captain could not find the principle interested party, Gio. Filippini, but with the consent of the other interested parties, he decided to head to Genoa in order to sell the grain. On reaching Genoa it was discovered that some of the grain was putrid and could not be sold. This was also put into the average when the ship returned to Livorno.
