 Raffaele Riario - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1488, Pope Innocent VIII sent Cardinal Riario as a legate to his maternal uncle Girolamo Riario, at the time governor of Forlì and Imola, who was revolting against the Holy See.
In 1493, he was sent as legate to Caterina Sforza, Girolamo Riario’s widow, to prevent her from allowing the French troops to pass through Forlì and Imola.
Riario, whose engagement in the Pazzi conspiracy had not been forgotten by the Medici Pope, secured his head only by surrendering his palace beside San Lorenzo in Damaso to the Pope.

 The Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church - Papal elections - XV Century
Girolamo Basso della Rovere, another cardinal-nephew of Sixtus, was the son of the pope's sister, Luchina, and of Giovanni Guglielmo Basso.
Girolamo was by nature somewhat meek and was fully content to allow the care of his interests, and those of his family, to remain in the hands of his much more forceful cousin, Giuliano.
Girolamo's major role during the conclave of 1492 was to act as the archpriest of the College during the absence of Cardinals Luis Juan del Mila y Borgia and Pedro Gonsalvez de Mendoza, who were both senior to him in rank.

Finally, in front of the Riario palace, she found a great pavilion gaily decorated with flowers, draperies, banners, and the coats of arms of the pope, the Riario, and the Sforza.
Girolamo, a citizen of Rome since 1477, asserted his power as the spokesman for the pope over the rebellious nobles of Rome, the Colonna, Orsini, de’Conti, Santa Croce, Savelli, and della Valle, and over the proud city, with its prefects, councils, judges, high-sounding titles with little power to give them substance.
Girolamo prudently had chosen not to go to Florence, and to be a planner not a doer.

 Pazzi
The Pazzi, who were lesser rivals of the Medici, were caught up in the conspiracy to replace the Medici as de facto rulers of Tuscany with Girolamo Riario, a nephew of Francesco della Rovere, who was reigning as Pope Sixtus IV.
As a reward, Sixtus granted the Pazzi a monopoly at the alum mines at Tolfa— alum being an essential mordant in dyeing in the textile trade that was central to the Florentine economy— and he assigned to the Pazzi bank lucrative rights to manage papal revenues.
Sixtus appointed his nephew Girolamo Riario as the new governor of Imola, and Francesco Salviati as archbishop of Pisa, a city that was a former commercial rival but now subject to Florence.

 The Pazzi Conspiracy
Nephew of Pope Sixtus IV, Girolamo Riario was one of the key plotters in the conspiracy to assassinate the Medici brothers.
Riario tried to use his marriage to the Duke of Milan's bastard daughter to sabotage the relationship between the Duke and Lorenzo.
Driven by greed, Riario fueled Francesco de' Pazzi's inner fire by intimating that the Pazzi family would play a large part in the next government of Florence, while coveting the future Dukedom of Florence for himself.

 Pope Sixtus IV
In 1478 took place the famous conspiracy of the Pazzi, planned by the pope's nephew — Cardinal Rafael Riario — to overthrow the Medici and bring Florence under the Riarii.
The pope was cognizant of the plot, though probably not of the intention to assassinate, and even had Florence under interdict because it rose in fury against the conspirators and brutal murderers of Giuliano de' Medici.
The attitude of Sixtus towards the conspiracy of the Pazzi, his wars and treachery, his promotion to the highest offices in the Church of such men as Pietro and Girolamo are blots upon his career.

The second 'nipote,' Girolamo Riario, remained a layman, and did not seek the Pontificate.
such a scheme was no longer practicable, and Girolamo Riario, after the attempt to conquer Florence (and who knows how many others places) had failed, was forced to content himself with founding a State within the limits of the papal dominions themselves.
At the death of Sixtus, Girolamo was only able to maintain himself in his usurped principality of Forli and Imola by the utmost exertions of his own, and by the aid of the House of Sforza, to which his wife belonged.

The plot to assassinate Lorenzo de' Medici and his popular younger brother Giuliano was hatched in Rome by the circle of Girolamo Riario (1443-1488), nephew of Pope Sixtus IV (1471-1484).
The murders were intended to facilitate the enlargement of papal territory in the Romagna region governed by Riario, who would assume leadership in Florence.
The occasion chosen for the assassinations was the visit of Riario's nephew, the newly created Cardinal Raffaello Sansoni, to Florence in April 1478, accompanied by the archbishop.

 1 THE RISE OF THE HOUSE OF BORGIA
From the pen-portraits left of him by Gasparino of Verona, and Girolamo Porzio, we know him for a tall, handsome man with fl eyes and full lips, elegant, courtly, joyous, and choicely eloquent, of such health and vigour and endurance that he was insensible to any fatigue.
For we see that he was not even alone, as an ecclesiastic, in the adventure; that he had for associate on that amorous frolic one Giacopo Ammanati, Cardinal-Presbyter of San Crisogno, Roderigo’s senior and an ordained priest, which-without seeking to make undue capital out of the circumstance-we may mention that Roderigo was not.
We know that Piero and Girolamo Riario, though styled by Pope Sixtus IV his “nephews,” were generally recognized to be his sons.

Four of his nephews and their aggrandizement were the particular objects of his attentions, and two of these--as we have already said--Piero and Girolamo Riario, were universally recognized to be his sons.
Piero, who was a simple friar of twenty-six years of age at the time that his father became Pope, was given the Archbishopric of Florence, made Patriarch of Constantinople, and created Cardinal to the title of San Sisto, with a revenue of 60,000 crowns.
Knowing so much, it is not difficult to understand that in one year or less he should have dissipated 200,000 florins, and found himself in debt to the extent of a further 60,000.

In the conclave (1484) which followed the death of Sixtus--that in which Innocent VIII was elected--an incident occurred which seemed to furnish the Papacy with a new external guarantee.
After his death in 1513, the money-loving cardinals tried to evade the prohibition by proposing that the endowments and offices hitherto held by the chosen candidate should be equally divided among themselves, in which case they would have elected the best-endowed cardinal, the incompetent Raphael Riario.
The danger from the side of the Lutherans was by no means the greatest; an acute observer from Venice, Girolamo Negro, uttered his fears that a speedy and terrible disaster would befall the city of Rome itself.
