Francesco Salviati

This article is a stub. You can help Assassin's Creed Wiki by expanding it.

Archbishop Francesco Salviati of Pisa (1443-1479) was the archbishop of Pisa and one of the major Pazzi conspirators.

Francesco was convinced he would be the next Archbishop of Florence. But he was enraged when Lorenzo de' Medici stood in his way. But the Templars were there to heal his wounds. It was Salviati who marched his troops into the city. Afterwards, he fled to an area in Tuscany near San Gimignano. Francesco lives within Villa Salviati in Tuscany, where he is assassinated by Ezio Auditore da Firenze in Sequence 5. Ezio opens the villa's gate to let in Mario's mercenaries. Salviati screamed insults at Ezio, while Ezio replied that the Templars talked too much. He is killed by Ezio while fighting the mercenaries.

Last Words

Ezio: Where is Jacopo?

Salviati: He knows you come for him... emerging only in darkness to meet with the others...

Ezio: That answers when... Now tell me where? La fede dovrebbe dare conforto, non pena. (Faith should bring comfort, not pain.) Requiescat in Pace. (Rest in peace.)

Trivia

• In real life, Archbishop Salviati was the main instigator of the conspiracy and not the Pazzi family. He was supposed to go to the Palazzo Vecchio and kill the Gonfaloniere Petrucci and take hold of the Palazzo della Signoria. Yet, he was arrested by Petrucci and hanged by a mob from the window of the Sala dei Duecento next to Francesco de Pazzi. He bit a large chunk of flesh out of Francesco de' Pazzi's chest as he died. His body was cut down and desecrated.
