Bernardo Bandini Baroncelli  Bernardo Bandini Baroncelli (15 January 1420 – 29 December 1479) was an Italian merchant and one of the instigators of the Pazzi Conspiracy. As the opening stroke of the Pazzi Conspiracy, Giuliano de' Medici was assassinated on Easter Sunday, 26 April 1478 in the Duomo of Florence, Santa Maria del Fiore, by Francesco de' Pazzi and Bernardo Baroncelli. Giuliano was killed by a sword wound to the head and was stabbed 19 times. Baroncelli was arrested in Constantinopole. Antonio Medici was sent to deliver him from Istanbul. Bandini was hanged on 29 December at the Palazzo del Bargello. Bernardo Baroncelli was drawn in a macabre sketch by Leonardo da Vinci in Florence in 1479 showing the body of Bernardo Baroncelli hanged, in connection with the murder of Giuliano in the Pazzi conspiracy. With dispassionate integrity Leonardo has registered in neat mirror writing the colours of the robes that Baroncelli was wearing when he died. Bernardo Baroncelli is played by Giovanni Pagliano as a tenor voice in the opera "I Medici", composed by Ruggero Leoncavallo. He appears in the videogame "Assassin's Creed II" and is killed by Ezio Auditore.
