Quando nel maggio del 1434 papa Eugenio IV si trasferì a Firenze, Roma venne amministrata da un governo municipale che rimase in carica pochi mesi. I membri di questa magistratura erano prevalentemente esponenti del ceto imprenditoriale romano legati ai Colonna, acerrimi nemici di Eugenio IV. Allo stesso tempo, il duca di Milano Filippo Maria Visconti tentò di imporre la sua autorità sullo Stato pontificio profittando della debolezza del nuovo governo romano. Roma quindi si trovò al centro della politica nazionale assediata da forze ostili. Nell'autunno del 1434 l'autorità pontificia fu restaurata.
