The resistance of the Florentines to Adimari - they refused entry after the protests with the Pope did not induce him to give in - prompted Boniface to transfer Adimari to Taranto as Archbishop in 1401 and to transfer the Archbishop Jacopo da Teramo to Florence. In 1406 Adimari moved from Taranto, where he probably never stayed, to Pisa . 1409 he participated in the Council of Pisa and joined Alexander V. on. In 1410 he moved to the antipope John XXIII. who sent him to France as a legate. In recognition of the success there, he was made cardinal of the titular church of Sant'Eusebio on July 6, 1411 . Further legations took him to Spain and Paris . Adimari took part in the Council of Constance and became a close associate of the elected Pope Martin V. On his behalf, he traveled to Aragon to see the deposition of Benedict XIII. to proclaim. After his return in 1419 he was able to bring the negotiations between Martin V and Braccio da Montone to a successful conclusion in Florence in 1420. Then he returned to Rome.
