==History==<br />
===Medici drowning===<br />
{{Quote|When I was six years old I fell into the Arno. I soon found myself drifting down, and into darkness, certain my life was at an end.|Lorenzo de' Medici recalls a childhood accident.|Assassin's Creed II}} <br />
In 1455, a six-year old [[Lorenzo de' Medici]] fell into the Arno.<ref name=AC2>''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref> Believing his life to be over, Lorenzo drifted deep into the river.<ref name="AC2"/> However, Lorenzo was rescued by a member of the [[House of Auditore|Auditore family]], who had dived into the river and pulled Lorenzo out, saving his life.<ref name="AC2"/>Due to this event, a long-lasting and successful relationship developed between the Auditore and the [[House of Medici|Medici]].<ref name="AC2"/><br />
<br />
===Auditore last rites===<br />
{{Dialogue|Cristina|Tell me, what can I do?|Ezio|My family's bodies... I can't just leave them hanging from the gallows. I need to give them last rites. Send them on to the next world...|Ezio explains his plan to Cristina.|Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood}}<br />
Later, in 1476, [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]] met his lover, [[Cristina Vespucci]], near the Arno.<ref name="ACBH">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref> Ezio informed Cristina that he needed to provide his family with their last rites after Ezio's father, [[Giovanni Auditore da Firenze|Giovanni]], and brothers [[Federico Auditore da Firenze|Federico]] and [[Petruccio Auditore da Firenze|Petruccio Auditore]], had been [[Auditore execution|executed]].<ref name="ACBH"/><br />
