He came from an entrepreneurial family from Verona. Born Pietro Paolo Maffei in Trento, he came to Munich in 1770 at the age of 16 to work as an apprentice in the snuff factory of councilor Andreas Mayr. When he died, he took over the factory, married his daughter Walburga Mayr and thus acquired citizenship. Thanks to his commercial skills, he was able to increase his fortune to 2.7 million guilders by the time he died. In 1802 he founded the bank Maffei & Co., which merged with Delbrück-Bethmann in 2004 and became Delbrück-Bethmann-Maffei . Since 2011 the bank has been called Bethmann Bank . 1808 was an eventful year for Maffei, so the family was enrolled in the Bavarian nobility, he married a second time after his first wife Walburga died in 1803 and he moved his bank to the Palais Seinsheim on Promenadeplatz , which from now on Maffeipalais was called. The building fell victim to the destruction in World War II . The tobacco factory in Lehel was taken over by his son Joseph Anton in 1816. Maffei died in Munich in 1836 at the age of 82.
