notes: The election of a Florentine pope caused a near-riot in the city. Landucci tells us that the celebration nearly got out of control, with people burning whatever they could get their hands on, even the wooden roofs above the shops. The Eight ordered that anyone caught looting or destroying property would be hanged, which seemed to be enough to prevent a full scale riot. The celebratory bonfires and small-arms fire continued for at least four more days. “It was really incredible what a number of fires there were in the city; every single person had one at his door.”
