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

Francesco was convinced that he would be the next Archbishop of Florence, thus he was enraged when Lorenzo de' Medici stood in his way. However, the Templars were there to heal his wounds. It was Francesco who marched his troops into the city. afterwards, He shed his fancy garments, and traded them for the simple clothes of a farmer. The farmer was hanged, and Salviati fled to his villa in Tuscany. He was assassinated by the Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze with the help from Mario Auditore's 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 kill the Gonfaloniere Petrucci and take hold of the Palazzo della Signoria. However, instead, 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. Afterwards, his body was cut down and desecrated.
