Abstract
In the Late Middle Ages Venice was a key centre for the circulation of information. Not surprisingly, an event such as the conquest of Ceuta by the Portuguese shows its echoes in contemporary Venetian sources, such as the Diario by Antonio Morosini. It is well known that the Portuguese tried to dissimulate the true purpose of their enterprise whilst the large fleet was undergoing its preparation. News transmitted to Venice reflect the different degrees of awareness about the events by the Venetians and by other European powers: initially many hypotheses were made, and only after the conquest everyone learned the truth.
