Bernardo di Bandino Baroncelli (1453-1480) is a banker for the Pazzi and one of the Pazzi conspirators who attempted to murder Lorenzo de' Medici and his brother Giuliano. He grew up learning to hate the Medici for the exile of his cousins. As one of the men who Jacopo de' Pazzi hired to kill Lorenzo, he was the who delivered the first blow to Guiliano. Baroncelli was later captured while attempting to flee to Constantinople but escaped to San Gimignano. Baroncelli is later assassinated by Ezio in San Gimignano. He is evidently becoming paranoid of Ezio and Lorenzo and is muttering to himself how to stay safe. Baroncelli is a banker by day, and a murdering Templar by night.
Final Words
Baroncelli: I knew you would come...
Ezio: Where is Jacopo?
Baroncelli: So you could do to him what you've done to me?
Ezio: There's still time for you to clear your conscience.
Baroncelli: We gather at the church when a meeting is called.
Ezio: Mi duole dover giungere a tanto. (I am sorry that it came to this.) Requiscat in Pace. (Rest in peace.)
