Franciszek I Sforza, Francesco I Sforza (ur. 23 lipca 1401, zm. 8 marca 1466) – książę Mediolanu w latach 1450–1466, pierwszy władca z dynastii Sforzów, gonfaloniere papieski.

Był jednym z siedmiu nieślubnych dzieci Muzia Attendolo Sforzy, założyciela rodziny Sforzów i Lucii Torsano. Podobnie jak ojciec w początkach kariery był kondotierem. Drogą mariaży doszedł do znaczenia i bogactwa.

Giovanna d'Acquapendente was a 15th-century noblewoman from the Kingdom of Naples. She was known as 'la Colombina' and was the lover of Francesco I Sforza for the seventeen years between the death of his first wife Polissena Ruffo (1420) and his second marriage to Bianca Maria Visconti, daughter of Filippo Maria Visconti (1441). Visconti took Francesco's illegitimate children under her wing after the marriage.

Giovanna lived at the castle in Fermo with her children until Francesco was made lord of the March of Ancona. From then on she lived with her children in the castles at Abbiategrasso, Lodi, Melegnano, Pavia and Binasco, taking part in hunts, banquets and processions.
