The second case of Sciacca, sometimes also referred to as the third,[1][2][3] was the concluding part of the violent conflict fought between Sicily's noble families of de Luna and Perollo between 1455 and 1529, referred to as the "case of Sciacca."[4] The main phases of the conflict were fought in the territories of the feudal town of Bivona[5] and the demesne town of Sciacca,[6] both current Italian municipalities in the province of Agrigento in Sicily, in the summer months of 1529.[7][8][9]

In addition to Sigismondo II de Luna and Giacomo Perollo, the real protagonists of the conflict, the second Sciacca case involved several personalities, from the relatives of the two enemies to the privateer Sericono Bassà, from Pope Clement VII to Emperor Charles V.[10]
The case finally ended, at the end of February 1530, with the death of Sigismondo de Luna, which occurred more than seven months after that of his enemy Giacomo Perollo.[11]
