The '''Auditore Family Villa''' was a stronghold in the city of [[Monteriggioni]]. It was built by [[Domenico Auditore]], and later used to provide aid and refuge for Ezio and his family after the murder of [[Giovanni Auditore da Firenze|Giovanni]], [[Federico Auditore da Firenze|Federico]] and [[Petruccio Auditore da Firenze|Petruccio]] in Florence. Sitting in a beautiful Tuscan valley, the villa and Monteriggioni had become run down and badly in need of repair.

During the villa's construction, Domenico designed the home to double as a fortress and training ground for the town. The building was filled with hidden compartments and rooms, such as a moving bookshelf in the study. It concealed the entrance to the [[Sanctuary]], a shrine to Assassins past and the resting place of [[Altaïr's Armor]]. While unconnected to the villa, [[Auditore Family Crypt]] lay nearby.

After a Florentine attack in 1320 left the facade damaged, the present facade was erected and a painting gallery was added to the interior.

In 1476, Ezio and his family arrived to the villa after the execution of his father and brothers. Ezio trained with his uncle for two years, preparing to assassinate [[Vieri de' Pazzi]]. [[Claudia Auditore da Firenze|Claudia]] and [[Maria Auditore]] remained at the villa for the rest of Ezio's journey. Claudia kept records of Monteriggioni's income and Ezio's progress, while Maria prayed in her room under constant grief of her husband and sons' deaths, until Ezio gathered and stored eagle feathers as keepsakes to help her cope with the loss.

In 1499, [[Cesare Borgia]] besieged Monteriggioni, devastating the town and villa.

In the early stages of the game, Ezio is able to renovate both the town of Monteriggioni and the Auditore Villa.

'''Methods to increase the town and villa's values are listed below:'''

*Renovating the [[Merchants|shops]] and other buildings through the architect
*Buying [[armor]] and [[weapons]]
*Purchasing [[Art Merchants|paintings]]
*Collecting [[Codex|Codex pages]]
*Obtaining the [[Assassin's Seal|six assassin's seals]]
*Collecting [[feathers]]
*Collecting the statuettes scattered across monteriggioni
*Unlocking the two models
*Obtaining [[Altaïr's armor]]
*Obtaining the portraits of all the conspirators (including conspirators from the [[Battle of Forli]] and [[Bonfire of the Vanities]])

As Ezio invests in Monteriggioni, the Villa's outside appearance improves over time. Boards across windows are taken down, overgrown plants recede, and flags bearing the assassin symbol appear around the roof. Also, with each guild renovated, [[Courtesans]], [[Mercenaries]], and [[Thieves]] populate the town.

==Trivia==
*The glyph on the wall of the villa is a barcode, the numbers under the barcode are 12212012 which when entered into a database of barcode numbers means nothing, because its not a barcode 12212012 is the end date of the Mayan calendar 12/21/2012 to make it more similar to the barcode itself 12.21.2012 there is no separation on the glyph itself however.
