Giovanni Salvatore

Giovanni Salvatore was the greatest charioteer in Italy, racing for Naples before almost racing for Florence. He was renowned for his amazing talent, for being extremely good-looking and for never signing a single autograph. He now devotes his life to helping sick children.

Biography
Giovanni was an exceptional talent whose achievements racing for Naples earned him a great fanbase. Piero de' Medici managed to convince him to start racing for Florence for which a huge party was held in his honour at the Medici Palace. The party was gatecrashed by Niccolo Machiavelli, Lisa Gherardini, both huge fans. Mac, determined to achieve what no one ever could and receive an autograph made up a story of a dying nephew, named Mac, to guilt trip Salvatore into writing an autograph on his charioteer's glove. However, this was so uplifting for Salvatore that he told Piero he was giving up racing to help sick children. This prompted a huge backlash from his fans and an angry mob baying for whomever convinced him to give up his talent. (Servant of Florence)

Personality
Salavatore was cool, charming and surprisingly down to earth for such an exceptionally talented and popular sportsman. He was weary of the charioteer's life, and wished to give back to people. It was this that contributed to his decision to give up racing and help sick children. Piero de' Medici called him an idiot for "turning his back on his god-given talent".
