	In 1476, the execution of the [[Italian Brotherhood of Assassins\|Italian Assassin]] [[Giovanni Auditore da Firenze\|Giovanni Auditore]] and his sons [[Federico Auditore da Firenze\|Federico]] and [[Petruccio Auditore da Firenze\|Petruccio]] was held at the Palazzo della Signoria<ref name="~~LastManStanding~~">''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Last Man Standing]]</ref> after they had been imprisoned in the tower the night before.<ref>''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Jailbird]]</ref> Although Giovanni's third son [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze\|Ezio]] tried to attack ''{{Wiki\|Gonfaloniere}}'' [[Uberto Alberti]], the man who had betrayed his family and ordered their execution, he was disarmed by a [[brute]] and forced to flee.<ref name="~~LastManStanding~~"/>		In 1476, the execution of the [[Italian Brotherhood of Assassins\|Italian Assassin]] [[Giovanni Auditore da Firenze\|Giovanni Auditore]] and his sons [[Federico Auditore da Firenze\|Federico]] and [[Petruccio Auditore da Firenze\|Petruccio]] was held at the Palazzo della Signoria,<ref name="Last Man Standing">''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Last Man Standing]]</ref> after they had been imprisoned in the tower the night before.<ref>''Assassin's Creed II'' – [[Jailbird]]</ref> Although Giovanni's third son [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze\|Ezio]] tried to attack ''{{Wiki\|Gonfaloniere}}'' [[Uberto Alberti]], the man who had betrayed his family and ordered their execution, he was disarmed by a [[brute]] and forced to flee.<ref name="Last Man Standing"/>

	Two years later, Ezio [[Freerunning\|pursued]] [[Francesco de' Pazzi]] on the palazzo's roof and [[Assassination\|assassinated]] him for his role in the [[Pazzi conspiracy]] against [[Lorenzo de' Medici]], before allowing those loyal to the ruling ~~[[House of Medici\|~~Medici family]] to [[Hanging\|hang]] the corpse from the battlements.

	Later, in 1524, Ezio took the [[Chinese Brotherhood of Assassins\|Chinese Assassin]] [[Shao Jun]] to see the palazzo during a trip into the city.
