The conspiracy was proposed in Montughi, at Jacopo Pazzi's villa, and it was planned to kill Lorenzo and Giuliano de' Medici and take over the government of Florence.[3] After the conspiracy, Jacopo went home and he found Francesco with a wound in one leg, possibly self-inflicted.[4] With 100 armed men, Jacopo ran through the streets crying "Liberty!", but when Francesco was dragged from his bed and hanged, Jacopo escaped from Florence.[5] In the village of Castagno, he was recognised and sent back to Florence, where he was tortured and hanged next to the decomposing body of Francesco Salviati. After being buried at Santa Croce, his body was dug up, thrown in a ditch, dragged through the streets, and propped up at the door of the Palazzo Pazzi, where his head was mockingly used as a door knocker. After that, his body was thrown into the Arno, where it was retrieved by children, hung from a willow tree, flogged, and thrown back into the river.[6][2]
