The author offers a contribution on the representation of citizenship in the major Italian cities in the decades between the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries based on a dense network of high-level relationships and without the burdens and fiscal pressures required in the formal one. Among those who received prestigious positions and often enjoyed privileges were rich businessmen, who tended to be reluctant to acquire citizenship due to the tax burdens that could arise from it.
