The House of Malevecchio was an Italian banking family and political dynasty that first began to gather prominence in the Republic of Florence during the first half of the 15th century.
They were the enemies of several important crime-fighters, including Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo Galilei, and Niles Cartouchian (Renaissance).
