Summary/Abstract: Unexplored material related to diverse aspects of Hungarian history is still considerable in Italian archives and libraries. Although eff orts have already been made at unearthing such material, the use of the discovered sources is greatly hindered by the lack of any systematization. The project running under the name of Vestigia (www.vestigia.hu) between 2010 and 2015 accordingly aimed at simultaneously exploring new material and presenting it in a systematic manner. Yet an inherent feature of any such auxiliary study is the fatal shortness of the available time span to carry the project to complete fruition, while no Hungarian project can be planned ahead for more than five years. The research of Hungarica material necessitates continuous work, and the Vestigia – in case it could be continued – aims at completeness with regard to collections in Florence and Venice. Italy in general, however, will still off er a great amount of evidence for the researchers of Hungarian history.
