Biography
On December 26, 1476, Olgiati attended the Mass at Santo Stefano in Milan, with several of the other assassins hidden in the crowd.[1]
Lampugnani was first to approach Sforza, and stab him with a dagger hidden in his boot. Olgiati quickly followed suit, and stabbed Sforza in the back. At this point, a battle between the assassins and guards commenced.[1]
All the assassins except for Lampugnani managed to escape, only to be caught and executed within a week.[2]
