The Ghost Of Girolamo Riario

“Florence at that time was a beautiful and rich city, disputed by the Church which looking at Medici as their main enemies and considered the noble Florentine family of Pazzi, their main allies”.

“The Medici had become very rich and noble thanks to their banks and cash, while the Pazzi were less rich but more noble for centuries and faithful to the church”.

“In particular, the Pazzi's boasting descending from Pazzino de' Pazzi, a knight who had participated in the first crusade and, with his bare hands, had first climbed the walls of Jerusalem, thus opening the way for all the others crusaders to conquer the city”.

“Pazzino25 Returning to Florence, with three fragments of stone from the Holy Sepulchre, received as a gift for his undertaking. Then he was celebrated with solemn honours and glory by all Florentines,and since then, their family has been considered noble and at the service of the Church”.

“So the Pazzi's family were the main allies of Pope Sixtus IV and Riario to attempt the fall of the Medici and try the conquest of Florence, by the famous Pazzi conspiracy26”, concluded the witness his explanation.
