Although many of the architects in Rome came from up north, they were inspired by the old ruins, creating an interplay with the Ancient Roman structures throughout the city. Roman architects saw themselves as fulfilling all of human history, creating the essential expression of human will through the perfect cityscape.''

An architect

An architect is an individual who plans, designs, and reviews the construction of a building.

During the Italian Renaissance, architects would commonly receive a commission from citizens or Assassins, and would work with them to draft plans, before overseeing the renovations themselves.

Monteriggioni[edit | edit source]

Mario Auditore[edit | edit source]

"Our architects explain that lowering the towers might actually help our defenses because we can purchase more powerful weaponry. A huge undertaking, but something I will consider in the future."
―Mario Auditore speaking with the city architects.[src]

While under the rule of Mario Auditore, the architects of Monteriggioni mostly worked on upgrading and repairing the defenses of the city, including its fortress walls and towers.[1]

Additionally, in 1454, architects aided Mario in the research of a mysterious artifact that was said to have been hidden under the city. To this end, an architect went over a layout of the city's buildings with Mario, subsequently discussing the possibility of hiding places beneath each.[1]

Ezio Auditore[edit | edit source]

"Ser Mario hired me to deal with this mess, but I'm an architetto, not a miracle worker."
―The Villa Auditore architect.[src]
Ezio speaking with the Villa architect

By the time of Ezio Auditore da Firenze's arrival in Monteriggioni in 1476, the city and its Villa had fallen into disrepair. An architect had been hired to oversee renovations, though Mario commonly focused more time and funding on the city's defense than on its upkeep.[2]

This architect based himself in the study of the Villa, looking over a scale model of the town, which was mounted on a large table. Through him, Ezio was able to make decisions on how best to upgrade the town.[2]

All buildings, structures and guilds that were rebuilt and renovated in Monteriggioni generated income, and increased the number of visitors to the city.[2]

Rome[edit | edit source]

Unlike Monteriggioni, architects could be found in abundance in Rome, and were willing to work on a variety of commissions, such as shop buildings, aqueducts, and other structures throughout the city.[3]

Ezio speaking with an architect in the Tiber Island hideout

In this regard, architects would rebuild the shops of art merchants, doctors, tailors, blacksmiths, banks and stables, as well as the entrances to the city's tunnel system, broken aqueducts, and guild buildings.[3]

Though he became known as a mysterious benefactor aiding in the renovation of Rome, Ezio only directly conversed with architects in four locations: the Tiber Island headquarters, the Rosa in Fiore, the Caserma di Alviano, and La Volpe Addormentata.[3]

Ezio also interacted with Borgia architects in charge of Leonardo da Vinci's war machines; often interrogating them on the location of the machine plans and prototypes.[3]
