	During the [[Renaissance]], the [[Assassins\|Assassin]] Ezio Auditore arrived in Venice with his friend [[Leonardo da Vinci]] in 1481. During a tour of the district given to them by [[Alvise da Vilandino]], the three men witnessed city guards destroying a merchant's stand. Minutes later, the same merchant tried to complain to Emilio, who had ordered the destruction. However, the merchant was detained and taken into the palazzo.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' – [[Benvenuto]]</ref>		During the [[Renaissance]], the [[Assassins\|Assassin]] Ezio Auditore arrived in Venice with his friend [[Leonardo da Vinci]] in 1481.

	Suspecting Emilio to be a [[Templars\|Templar]], Ezio tried to confront the noble, but found he could not scale the palazzo's walls. As he looked over the building, a group ~~of [[Thief\|thieves]] lured the [[Soldier\|guards]] away~~ while another thief, [[Rosa]], attempted to scale the walls. However, Rosa was spotted by an archer and shot through the leg, falling to the ground. Ezio ~~then~~ fought off the guards and helped Rosa make her escape.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' – [[That's Gonna Leave a Mark]]</ref>		Suspecting Emilio to be a [[Templars\|Templar]], Ezio tried to confront the noble, but found he could not scale the palazzo's walls.

	After restoring the Venetian Thieves Guild to its former strength, Ezio and the thieves, led by [[Antonio de Magianis]], launched an attack on the palazzo in 1485. After eliminating the surrounding archers and replacing them with disguised thieves, Ezio used his newly-learned climb leap technique to scale the walls and infiltrate the ~~palazzo's~~ courtyard. ~~Upon eavesdropping~~ on a conversation between ~~Emilio~~ and the Venetian councilman [[Carlo Grimaldi]], ~~Ezio finally eliminated his target before~~ the ~~man could make his~~ escape.<ref name="Everything Must Go">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' – [[Everything Must Go]]</ref>		After restoring the Venetian Thieves' Guild to its former strength, Ezio and the thieves, led by [[Antonio de Magianis]], launched an attack on the palazzo in 1485.
