	The simulation depicted the [[Mercato Vecchio]], a well-known marketplace in Florence's Santa Maria Novella district, and the surrounding area, which featured lots of narrow alleys, allowing for a quick escape when necessary. Visitors could take a break from the vendors' noisy shouting by reclining on the benches in one of the area's relaxing courtyards. Construction was in progress on some of the rooftops, with [[Chase breakers\|hanging platforms]] having been set up, which allowed people to move easily from the encircling buildings to the Mercato Vecchio itself.<ref name="ACB"/>		The simulation depicted the [[Mercato Vecchio]], a well-known marketplace in Florence's Santa Maria Novella district, and the surrounding area, which featured lots of narrow alleys, allowing for a quick escape when necessary.
