I also shortened the article)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)The Solaros were the most powerful banking family in Asti and Genoa founded in 1175. At the height of their power during the 1190s they were owners of 24 castles within Asti's territory and were also present in Genoa. Initially their commercial activity was centred primarily in the fairs of Provins, Troyes, in northern France and Flanders. By the 13th century, they were active in Bourgogne and Franche-Comté.
In 1276, their intervention was critical in the peace between Asti and Charles of Anjou and the family abruptly became bankrupt due to extreme financial pressure from the Capetian House of Anjou period.
