Marino Bizzi barski nadbiskup, bio je 1610. godine u posjeti nekim djelovima tadašnje Turske, bio je u Srbiji (na Kosovu), Albaniji, Baru, Ulcinju.
Napravio je izvještaj za Vatikan o stanju katoličke crkve u regionu koji je posjetio. Ovo je istorijski izvor I klase, objavljen je na našem jeziku 1985. u Budvi, u malom tiražu, nemam ovaj teklst na našem jeziku, ali ga ima na internetu na engleskom.

When the time arrived, we set off on our journey to the city of Prizren, which we entered at two o'clock in the morning, this city being without walls as are almost all of these towns. The priest walked through the town with some trepidation because some janissaries had recently killed one another in his house. They had gone there for a meal. The Turks claimed that the priest ought to be punished, because the murderers got away.
This city contains 8,600 quite large houses, almost all of which have courtyards like rural homes in Italy. It is larger than all other towns except Skopje which is 40 miles away. Prizren is irrigated by fountains and other sources of flowing water, which turn the water mills and enrichen and enliven the city.
Upon our arrival, we were told that some monks of the schismatic metropolitan had been waiting near the doorway of the priest's house where I was staying until one in the morning to meet me. The next morning I learned that they had only wanted to meet me. I heard nothing more of them during the three days I spent in Prizren, but on one of the mornings, the said schismatic metropolitan sent his janissary to force the priest to give him money, as usual.
In this city, a bell rings from atop one of the many minarets which belong to the mosques...
Dakle, bio je u Prizrenu, Prizren je veliki grad, ima 8600 kuća i svega 30 latinskih domova.
Marin Bizzi kaže kako je šizmatički (pravoslavni) mitropolit "poslao njegove janičare ...", znači Turci su pravoslavnom mitropolitu dodijeli janičare, elitne turske vojnike, da ga paze i da mu pomažu!
Još jedan perfektan dokaz o favorizovanje pravoslavlja u odnosu na katoličanstvo, za vrijeme vladavine Turaka.
Pazili Turci da se što ne desi srpskom mitropolitu ...
