Pietro Bicarani

Pietro Bicarani was a citizen and ambassador of the Venetian Republic who achieved substantial business success in the Polish Kingdom during the 15th century.

Soon after his arrival at Wroclaw in the beginning of the 15th century, Bicarani established profitable contacts in government circles of the Krakow society. He became appointed a mint master of the Polish monarchy and was involved in providing large loan to the city of Krakow. Along with his nephew Bicarani successfully obtained a lease on the salt mines in Wieliczka and Bochnia for over a decade.

Thanks to his influence and acquaintances at the Polish court, he was appointed an ambassador of the Venetian Republic holding that post until his death in 1414.
