A Description of the methods adopted by the Duke Valentino when murdering Vitellozzo Vitelli, Oliverotto da Fermo, the Signor Pagolo, and the Duke di Gravina Orsini is a work by Italian Renaissance political scientist and historian Niccolò Machiavelli. The work describes Cesare Borgia's capture and murder of members of the Orsini family, as well as Vitellozzo Vitelli and Oliverotto da Fermo, former military associates who would later become his rivals. The four men were strangled as revenge for conspiring against Borgia at the castle of La Magione, along with other Italian rulers. Both Vitellozzo Vitelli and Oliverotto da Fermo were strangled on the night of their capture on 31 December 1502.
