[3] On October 1477, the Ottomans launched another raid, they were led by Skender Pasha, a Greco-Genoese, and Turahanoğlu Ömer Bey.
The Ottomans successfully captured the bridge at Gorizia before the news of the raids reached the Venetian camp at Gradisca d'Isonzo.
Ömer Bey led a force of 1,000 cavalry to cross the Isonzo River and began preparing for an ambush.
Despite his father's warning, the Venetian commander, Girolamo Novella of Verona, marched to meet the Ottoman, making a major mistake.
Apart from many killed, the Ottomans also captured numerous prisoners; including Count Antonio Caldora, Iacopo Piccinino, and Philippo de Navolin of Mantua.
