Italian support for Ottoman campaigns

Were Italian states, including Venice, involved in many Ottoman campaigns?

Yes. Italian states sometimes helped Ottoman campaigns, especially with logistics. These alliances shifted with political interests and did not follow a simple religious divide.

Treating Ottoman campaigns as a simple Christian-versus-Muslim contest misses the shifting alignments of Mediterranean politics. Italian powers could assist Ottoman operations when cooperation served their interests. Venice had provided logistical help in earlier decades, while France could also work with the Ottomans. Strategy and commerce could outweigh a stable religious divide.
