Changes

By the end of the year 1129 Korčula was subjected to the Zorzi House (Republic of Venice) but due to various events regained it's independence. In 1252  Marsilio Zorzi succeeded in reconquering it for Venice. The Curzolani suffered badly  under his tyranny and after two years of his control dismissed him.  Ruggero Zorzi a few years later with the help of Venice and Ragusa (Dubrovnik), amassed a strong arm of forces and arrived below the city calling on it to surrender. Not taking any notice of these threats, the Curzolani resolutely rejected the attack and tested the enemy inflecting lots of damage.  They seized the banner from the invaders. The wounded Ruggero was obliged to give up and take cover within the island. A number of the inhabitants, allured by promises, acted as a support for him in order that he could return to the offensive against the city. After a strong crushing battle, Ruggero sacked and demolished the town.He placed Count Marsilio back in command. Merciful towards the defeated, the walls he rebuilt were more beautiful than before.

===Federico of Aragon===

===Giorgio Viario===

In the year 1483 ''Federico of Aragon'', son of Ferdinand king of Naples, was at war with the Venetians. With Lissa (Hvar) being destroyed and conquered a large army  landed their troops with the aim of conquering Korčula.  '''Giorgio Viario''' then ruled the island with the title of count for the republic of the Veneto region. He was a fearless and courageous man who had the city well armed. He positioned the few island fighters in appropriate sites and resolutely defended, with the aid of these allies, the repeated assaults and the destruction of the catapults. His followers also fended off attacks by the other military artilleries employed by the Aragonese to demolish the walls and enter the city.  Such was the courage of the Curzolani who for several days resisted this siege, and repelled the attacks. They struck down arrows and made a large number of aggressors fall under the walls.

To confuse the enemy, Count Viario envisaged the plan to have the bells ring suddenly, almost as a general joy for the approaching of Marcello’s party.  The Aragonese bewildered by the city bells ringing and of the near danger, left under the walls of the city more than 500 men and a large amount of war equipment. They retreated and fled on the high seas.  This victory occurred on the 24th of August,the feast day of St. Bartholomew. A commemorative procession was devoted in thanksgiving that is customary in all parishes of the island on this all day feast. The prince and Senate of the Veneto Region later so appreciated the victory  that they erected a memorial.
