Bernardo Bandini Baroncelli
Bernardo Bandini Baroncelli (15 January 1420 – 29 December 1479) was an Italian merchant and one of the instigators of the Pazzi conspiracy. As the opening stroke of the Pazzi Conspiracy, Giuliano de' Medici was assassinated on Easter Sunday, 26 April 1478 in the Duomo of Florence, Santa Maria del Fiore, by Francesco de' Pazzi and Baroncelli. Giuliano was killed by a sword wound to the head and was stabbed 19 times. Baroncelli was arrested in Constantinople. Antonio Medici was sent to deliver him from Istanbul. Bandini was hanged on 29 December at the Palazzo del Bargello. Baroncelli  was drawn in a macabre sketch by Leonardo da Vinci in Florence in 1479. With dispassionate integrity, Leonardo had registered the colours of the robes that Baroncelli was wearing when he died in neat mirror writing. In popular culture. Baroncelli appears as a tenor in Leoncavallo's 1893 opera "I Medici" He also appears as a villain and assassination target in the videogame "Assassin's Creed II", where he is killed by assassin Ezio Auditore.
