Francesco de' Pazzi belongs to the commercial record as a figure whose ventures outlasted the conditions that produced them.
The record lists Francesco de' Pazzi as Italian private banker.
Francesco de' Pazzi was born at Florence in 1444. His recorded nationality is Republic of Florence.
Commerce then ran on personal credit, family networks and letters that took weeks to arrive; trust was the scarcest asset.
He worked as banker.
Commercial success is easy to measure and hard to interpret; timing and market do much of the work.
That the business was built from Republic of Florence shaped it: capital, regulation and market size differ by country, and they decide what is even attemptable.
Francesco de' Pazzi died in 1478, aged 34. What remains is the enterprise and its consequences, which is the only durable measure of a commercial life.
