Messer Annibale Bentivogli, who was prince in Bologna (grandfather of the present Annibale), having been murdered by the Canneschi, who had conspired against him, not one of his family survived but Messer Giovanni, who was in childhood: immediately after his assassination the people rose and murdered all the Canneschi.
A most élő Messer Annibale nagyapját, Messer Annibale Bentivogliót, Bologna urát az ellene összeesküdött Canneschik meggyilkolták, s más leszármazottja nem maradt, mint a csecsemő Giovanni. A gyilkosság után rögtön fölkelt a nép, és a Canneschiket egy szálig lemészárolta.
