Ottoman conquest of the city forced Bruni eventually to flee to Venice where he was educated by the Jesuits[6] in May 1572 in Rome and he was a doctorate in Avignon.
[8] Before Petru Schipouls decision to leave, he received a loan of 11,300 ducats[9] in advance from a Ragusan merchant in Moldavia named Giovanni de Marini Poli who had come to collect sheep and cattle.
For seven months Bruni stayed in Tyrol helping Petru with his legal defense in court against Marini Poli.
It is believed that Antonio Bruni died from the plague during his travels between Koper and Bolzano in Trieste July 1598.
Bruni was the first Albanian to write a general description of Albania which was a major source of information in Lazaro Soranzos L'Ottomanno (1598).
