{{quote|Welcome to the ''Rosa in Fiore''; as you can see, the most popular [[Brothels|brothel]] in ''Roma''.|[[Claudia Auditore]].|Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood}}

The '''Rosa in Fiore''' (English: ''Blooming Rose'') was the base of the [[courtesans]] in [[Rome]], which later became the city's most popular [[Brothels|brothel]].

==History==
===Under the Solari===
[[File:Playing Nice.jpg|thumb|200px|left|The Rosa in Fiore, 1497.]]
{{quote|Filth can be hidden by shadows. Foul smells masked by stronger scents, mostly imported. Disease is... difficult.|[[Fiora Cavazza]], a courtesan of the Rosa.|Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy}}

From as early as 1497, the Rosa was run jointly by [[Madonna Solari]] and her brother [[Santino Solari|Santino]]. Though already visited by various foreign and local patrons, the brothel was in poor shape, with one courtesan, [[Fiora Cavazza]], once noting the filth and foul smells hidden beneath the decorations and perfume.<ref name="Project Legacy">''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]''</ref>

Madonna Solari encouraged her girls to do whatever necessary to gain their customers' satisfaction, and was always quick to dismiss those who showed signs of disease. However, as Fiora once commented, because of ''"so many sailors playing in foreign lands, I fear we face a losing battle."''<ref name="Project Legacy" />

===Under the Auditore===
[[File:Rosa_in_Fiore_4.png|thumb|250px|right|The Rosa in Fiore, 1500.]]
In 1500, after [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]] sought an alliance with the courtesan guild, he discovered that their Madame was being held hostage by a group of [[Cento Occhi|slave traders]], who had been hired by [[Cesare Borgia]]. Despite his attempts to rescue her, Madonna Solari was killed.<ref name="Brotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>

Left leaderless, the Rosa in Fiore was taken over by [[Claudia Auditore da Firenze|Claudia Auditore]], alongside [[Maria Auditore da Firenze|her mother]]. Ezio funded the [[Architects|renovations]] necessary to re-establish the brothel, and over time it played host to many more men visiting it each day, including important Roman [[Cardinal]]s, senators and [[Papal Guards]].<ref name="Brotherhood" />

==Trivia==
*One of [[Subject 16]]'s [[Rifts]] is located on the Rosa's northern wall, available after the building has been renovated.
*''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'' reveals that Fiora Cavazza met Cesare Borgia while she was employed under Madonna Solari at the Rosa in Fiore.
*In the [[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (novel)|novelization of ''Brotherhood'']], [[Rosa]] takes over the position of Madame from Claudia between 1503 and 1507.

'''Counter-Propaganda''' is a memory in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''

==Description==
[[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio]] comes across a woman sporting bruises and cuts. Upon asking her what happened, Ezio finds out that she was beaten by her [[Auguste Oberlin|husband]], who had now become an agent of the [[House of Borgia|Borgia]], creating propaganda for [[Cesare Borgia|Cesare]]. Ezio sets off to kill him.

==Dialogue==
[[File:CounterPropaganda_1.png|thumb|right|250px|Ezio talking to the woman.]]

*'''Ezio:''' ''Madonna...''
*'''Woman:''' ''Don't! Hasn't he hurt me enough?''
*'''Ezio:''' ''I will not touch you. What happened here?''
*'''Woman:''' ''Auguste. My beloved husband. He believes he owns this neighborhood.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''The Borgia have given it to him.''
*'''Woman:''' ''He once made signs for the shops in the district, but now he posts lies for the Borgia and hurts those who stand in his way.''
*'''Ezio:''' ''Like you. Where is he?''
*'''Woman:''' '' He spends his days locked in his workshop, but I may know how to goad him out...''
*'''Ezio:''' ''How?''
*'''Woman:''' ''Tear down the signs he has posted throughout the district. His pride won't stand for it!''
*'''Ezio:''' ''Grazie'' (Thank you).
Ezio tears down all of Auguste's signs. The man emerges from his workshop.
*'''Auguste:''' ''Who has been tearing down my signs?''<br />''I want him dead.''
Ezio assassinates Auguste.
*'''Ezio:''' ''Requiescat in pace'' (Rest in peace).
