[[File:ACB Artifacts.png|thumb|250px|The five artifacts]]
In 2012, there were five '''artifacts''' that could be found by [[Desmond Miles]] within [[Monteriggioni]]. These items were notable for being seen during [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]]'s life, and were all owned by members of the [[House of Auditore|Auditore family]].

After retrieving each of the artifacts, Desmond would store them on a set of shelves within the [[Sanctuary]], in which he and his fellow [[Assassins]] were hiding, and they could be seen situated to the left of his laptop.

==Artifact locations==
===Maria's Feather Chest===
One of the artifacts was the chest in which [[Maria Auditore da Firenze]] kept the [[feathers]] collected for her, in memory of [[Petruccio Auditore da Firenze|her youngest son]].

Upon exiting the Sanctuary, Desmond could find the chest by turning around and [[freerunning]] up a wall towards a round window. After this, there was a lift nearby that would send him to the top of the roof, with the feather chest being located to the left of the landing spot, inside a cannonball crater.

===Ezio's Belt===
The second artifact was the belt worn by the [[Master Assassin]] Ezio Auditore, and could be located at the very front of the city, opposite of the Sanctuary, where the [[Brothels|brothel]] would stand, if you're facing the front gate its in a puddle to the right, on the elevated part.

<span style="font-size:16px;">Medici Cape</span>
The cape that [[Lorenzo de' Medici]] granted Ezio Auditore after he saved his life, by killing the [[Pazzi conspiracy|Pazzi conspirators]], could also be collected as an artifact by Desmond.

It could be found in plain sight, located on the altar inside of the church. The church itself was easy to spot from most rooftops, as it was recognizable by its cross and steeple.

===Claudia's Record Book===
The book which [[Claudia Auditore da Firenze]] used to chronicle the records of Monteriggioni's wealth was available to be collected.

When Desmond exited the Sanctuary, he could obtain the book by turning around and re-entering [[Villa Auditore#Mario's study|Mario's study]], though he had to be careful not to go too far into the room, or he would return to the Sanctuary. The book was to the right side of the doorway, along the wall.

===Mario's Sword===
The sword that [[Mario Auditore]] used as his personal blade could be obtained by Desmond.

Upon exiting the Sanctuary, Desmond could find the blade by going to the front of the villa. From there, he would need to head down the stairs towards the training ring and jump over the ledges directly in front of him. After this, he would carry onwards until he reached a street with trashcans to his left and a white car to his right. Following this, Desmond would then head down the alley that the car was in to the right, making his way towards a tree. The sword would be sticking out of a stone directly next to the tree, to which he could then pull the artifact from the ground.

==Trivia==
*The shelf where the artifacts are stored was empty right before Desmond and the others left for the [[Colosseum]], regardless of how many Desmond found.
*Despite the fact that Ezio received his new robes after his arrival in [[Rome]], the belt found bears the Roman variation of the [[Assassin insignia]].
*The [[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood achievements|achievement]] "'''Dust to Dust'''" required that Desmond find at least one of the artifacts.
*The items did not appear until Desmond had rerouted the power to the Villa and entered the Animus.
*The location of Mario's sword bears some similarities to The Sword in the Stone, since both Mario's sword and {{Wiki|Excalibur}} were pulled from stones by descendants of former rulers.
