| Izvleček: | The death of Pippo Spano and the consequent hostility of King Sigismund against the Florentine merchants (1426-1437) marked the decline of the glorious season of the great Italian trading companies in the Kingdom of Hungary.

Its members were granted with the assumption of important offices in the administration of the Kingdom, trading between Krakow, Wrocław and Venice. |
