In Italy every connoisseur of the history of his country will be able to answer who is Pazzi Francesco. This nobleman comes from a noble family of Pazzi, who lived and traded in the Florentine Republic of the fifteenth century. At this time, Italy was divided into small states, and Florence among them was considered the most democratic. The Medici family ruled the state and proclaimed freedom for art and commerce. This helped raise the family Francesco Pazzi, but at the age of 34 he was executed for revolt against the Medici. He was hanged directly on the window of the famous architectural structure of the Palazzo Vecchio.

Appearance

It should be noted that the developers of the series of games about the Order of the murderers worked in detail the appearance of an Italian nobleman. They worked with archival materials, found notes and portraits, and therefore transferred it to the virtual universe. The result surpassed even the most daring expectations.

Young women look at him with admiration, and this aspect is also observed in the crowd, if a little follow this man.

The beginning of the character's history in the game

The authors of the game series about the Order of the murderers reproduced exactly the character and desires of Francesco Pazzi. Assassin's creed is famous for this feature among other projects, but it was this man they managed to imagine as the most interesting character. Following historical sources, they understood the course of his thinking in those times and showed it in their own game. The hero's young years were marked by the fact that he constantly observed the rise of the Medici family. He hated the middle class of people in society and tried to rise higher by all means. But against the power of the most noble Florentine family, it is difficult to go for an open confrontation. Soon the Medici family eclipsed Pazzi, and the young man furiously hated them for it. Soon he receives an offer from the Grand Master of the Order of the Knights Templar Rodrigo Borgia to join his community. Francesco agreed and at the same time started plotting against the Medici.

Conspiracy against the leadership of Florence

After joining the Order of the Templars, Francesco de Pazzi automatically became the enemy of the Assassins. As early as 1476, he was facing the death penalty, because Giovanni Auditor was ready to present all evidence of a plot against Lorenzo and Giuliano Medici. At this time, the ally of the Order of the Knights Templar - gonfalonier Uberto Alberti intervened. He managed to reverse the course of the investigation. He presented the evidence against Francesco de Pazzi as fabricated and managed to convince everyone of the involvement of the Auditor family in unlawful actions. For this he and his sons were hanged in the square in front of the people of Florence. At this time, the conspiracy continued to build, and with the Pazzi family all charges were dropped. Two years later the plot was ready, and it remains only to discuss the small details with the allies. For this, the character went to a place called San Gimignano, where he met with the allies. The same evening, Ezio Auditor (the protagonist of the game) kills his son.

Conspiracy performance

The loss of the only first-born raised anger in the soul of Francesco Pazzi at an unprecedented level. He no longer wanted to wait for a convenient moment and on May 3 he attacked a small group of people on the Medici family. They went to work in the church of Santa Maria del Fiore. His skills allowed him to deal with Giuliano without any problems and enter into battle with the main goal - Lorenzo de 'Medici. Francesco wounded the enemy, but he managed to hide behind the backs of loyal comrades-in-arms. At the same time, Ezio Auditora appeared and helped his associates in the person of Medici to avoid a bitter fate. On this uprising did not end, because Florence was already on fire. The next time the protagonist met the Italian Templar, when he stormed into the Palace of Signoria with an assault. When Pazzi realized who his opponent was, there was nowhere to retreat. His corpse was thrown out of the window of the palace of Lorenzo, after the assassin had dealt with him. On this story of the conspiracy ended, and the Medici quickly regained influence in the Florentine Republic.

Reality and game

Developers have subtly approached to a wreath of reality and fiction. The basis of all the actions of Francesco Pazzi, they took from his life in the fifteenth century, but skillfully inserted the details of the game. His involvement in the secret order of the Knights Templar is groundless. At that time there were still no warriors of the crusades as an open association of people. Historians still mention the arms of the Order on the garments of many noble personalities, but these are only conjectures. The character of Ezio Auditoro is completely fictional, there has never been a fight between them in the history, but for the fans it does not matter. The plot of the game and the characters are made with filigree precision. Exciting story of the heroes for a long time was remembered by gamers, and some people still mark it as the best plot for the entire time of the Assassin's creed series.
