Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the description of the conquest of Constantinople and the Genoese colony of Pera in La Cronica dall’anno 1400 all’anno 1500 of the Florentine Benedetto Dei. The author situates the two chapters dedicated to these victories in the context of the entire chronicle; she dwells on issues such as the sources of information, the time of compilation, mistakes made, the general assessment of events dictated by Benedetto Dei’s biases and widespread public opinions. A Bulgarian translation of the chapters Otomanno Ughulì gran turco 1453; Pera 1454 is applied.
