Vanni Mulucci

Vanni Mulucci, Giovanni by baptismal name, belonged to the Guelph family that dominated Macerata from about 1325, when the city was newly a bishopric and the seat of the papal rector of the March.

The papal inquiry of 1341 records that Vanni held some authority in the city but was not always in agreement with Fredo. After the guilds overthrew the family in August 1340, Vanni and his brother Leone sold their houses near San Giovanni in 1345.

The Mulucci faded from city politics, but Vanni's heirs, with Fredo's, later ranked among Macerata's largest landowners, with estates chiefly in the fertile Chienti valley.
