Context:	Nel 1448, sulle coste della Mauritania, i Portughesi fondarono Arguim, prima base del traffico degli schiavi africani.

My comment:

"In 1448, on the coasts of Mauritania, the Portuguese people founded Arguim, the first base of the African slave trade. At that date, both the Crown and the merchants had long been included in the slave trade circuit "that was part of the Mediterranean circuit" / which/that was part of the larger Mediterranean slave trade complex."

"In fact, aforementioned Barbary slave trade formed a larger trade complex with the Ottoman slave trade, ***which in turn was part of the larger Mediterranean slave trade complex***, which itself was a part of the slave trade complex that stretched from Americas to Russia."

"al Mediterraneo" = "al circuito mediterraneo"

mediterraneo = adjective too: https://it.wiktionary.org/wiki/mediterraneo

I think they should have written "al mediterraneo" without the capital letter (typo).
