Pipo of Ozora (born Filippo Buondelmonti degli Scolari; known as Ozorai Pipó in Hungarian; Filippo Scolari, Lo Scolari or Pippo Spano in Italian, ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ or Philip Madzharin, Philip the Magyar in Bulgarian and Serbian epic songs; 1369 - December 1426) was an Italian condottiero, general, strategist and confidant of Sigismund of Hungary. Pipo, the son of a Florentine destitute merchant, was born at Tizzano, near Florence. He is first mentioned in Hungary around 1382, when he entered the service of Sigismund's treasurer and was awarded the castle in Simontornya (Simonsthurm). Further services to the Crown, such as providing resources to fight the Ottomans, have led to his appointment as administrator of all gold mines in the kingdom. Present in Bosnia, in the context of a Hungarian nobles' rebellion and King Tvrtko's death, Pipo managed to subdue the main leaders of the revolt.
