Giovanni Andrea Lampugnani
Giovanni Andrea Lampugnani (1454 – 1476) was a member of Milanese nobility, one of the assassins of Galeazzo Maria Sforza, and a member of the Templar Order.
Biography
On 26 December 1476, Lampugnani and his Templar brethren, Carlo Visconti and Gerolamo Olgiati, attended the Saint Stephen's Day Mass at the Basilica di Santo Stefano Maggiore. When the Duke arrived, Lampugnani went down on one knee before him, and then struck the first blow to Sforza. The Assassin Giovanni Auditore da Firenze, having failed to protect the Duke, attempted to capture Lampugnani alive so he could be interrogated, but Sforza's Moor bodyguard Ali killed him before Giovanni could do so.[1]
