e [[House of Auditore|Auditore family]], who had dived into the river and pulled him out, saving his life (much to his mother's gratitude). Due to this event, a long-lasting and successful relationship developed between the families of the Auditore and the [[House of Medici|Medici]].<ref name="AC2">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>

===Auditore-Pazzi Brawl===
In 1476, a young [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]] and his allies rallied on the [[Ponte Vecchio]] to brawl their rivals, the [[House of Pazzi|Pazzi]]. In the ensuing fight, Ezio and his brother [[Federico Auditore da Firenze|Federico]] managed to subdue the Pazzi and force the remaining instigators, led by [[Vieri de' Pazzi]], to flee back across the bridge.<ref name="AC2"/>

===Auditore last rites===

Some days later, Ezio met his lover, [[Cristina Vespucci]], near to the Arno. He 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 and [[Petruccio Auditore da Firenze|Petruccio Auditore]], had been executed.

After collecting his families' bodies from the [[Palazzo della Signoria]], Ezio made his way back to the river. Stealthily and swiftly maneuvering past the vigilant [[guards|guard]] patrol, Ezio was able to place his family's bodies on a [[gondola]] on the river, leaving them to finally rest in peace.<ref name="ACB">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>

===Manfredo and the gamblers===
Two years later, Ezio returned to Florence on business and met Christina once again, learning that her fiance, [[Manfredo Soderini]], had been confronted by men that he owed money to on an unfinished bridge over the river. After defeating the gamblers, Ezio held Manfredo over the edge of the bridge until he confessed that he truly loved Christina and would be a good husband to her, abandoning gambling in the process.<ref name="ACB"/>
