The '''Palazzo della Signoria''' (also known as the '''Palazzo Vecchio''') was a building in central [[Florence]], and the center of governmental power during the Italian [[Renaissance]]. Atop the building stood a noticeably off-center clocktower, which also served as a holding cell. The [[Piazza della Signoria|square]] in front of the building served as a marketplace and a site for executions.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Executions===<br />
In 1476 the execution of [[Giovanni Auditore da Firenze|Giovanni Auditore]] and two of his sons, [[Federico Auditore|Federico]] and [[Petruccio Auditore|Petruccio]], was held at the Palazzo della Signoria. It was also the execution site of the infamous priest, [[Girolamo Savonarola]], by an angry mob of Florentines in 1498.<br />
<br />
===Pazzi Conspiracy===<br />
During the [[Pazzi Conspiracy]], [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]] pursued and assassinated [[Francesco de' Pazzi]] on the roof of the Palazzo, before allowing those loyal to the ruling [[House of Medici|Medici]] family to hang him from the battlements.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*There is a [[View Point|view point]] on top of the Palazzo's clocktower.<br />
*Historically, many of the people who were involved in the Pazzi Conspiracy were hanged from the Palazzo. In the game, they only show Francesco being hanged.<br />
*You are unable to climb up to the pinnacle of the tower in-game.<br />
*This is the last place Ezio has a conversation with his father before Giovanni is executed.<br />
