'''Petruccio Auditore da Firenze''' (1463 – 1476) was born into the [[Assassins|Assassin Order]], as the son of [[Maria Auditore da Firenze|Maria]] and [[Giovanni Auditore da Firenze|Giovanni Auditore]]. He was the youngest of the [[House of Auditore|Auditore]] children, and brother to [[Federico Auditore da Firenze|Federico]], [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio]] and [[Claudia Auditore da Firenze|Claudia]].

Petruccio was destined to be trained as an Assassin upon coming of age, but never received the opportunity, or even discovered his family heritage. He was executed in 1476 as an alleged accomplice to his father, who was falsely accused of treason.

==Biography==
===Early life===
Petruccio Auditore was a young [[Florence|Florentine]] nobleman living during the late 15th century. His father Giovanni was a banker, but was also in secret an Assassin, who planned to prepare Petruccio and his brothers for their future in the Order.

However, Petruccio was born sickly. His constant illness forced his parents to take him out of school, and keep him bed-ridden for most of his life.<ref name="AC2">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>

===Death and legacy===
In 1476, Petruccio asked his brother, Ezio, to retrieve [[feather]]s for him, the reason for which he kept a secret. Ezio agreed, but only if his younger brother returned to bed afterwards.

The next day, Petruccio was arrested alongside his father and brother on a false charge of treason against the ruling [[House of Medici|Medici family]]; he was publicly executed the day after.<ref name="AC2" />

That same night, he, Federico and Giovanni were given a proper burial by Ezio.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>

==Trivia==
*When viewing [[Uberto Alberti]]'s database video, Petruccio could be seen hanging from the gallows on the left-hand side, wearing different clothes.
*Throughout the entire game, it was never hinted why Petruccio actually needed the feathers. But in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Renaissance]]'', it was suggested that he was collecting them as a gift for his mother.
*Petruccio was one of the three children to feature in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', alongside [[Caterina Sforza]]'s children, [[Bianca Riario|Bianca]] and [[Ottaviano Riario|Ottaviano]].
