After learning of the [[Templars]] plan to kill the [[Giovanni Mocenigo|Doge of Venice]], [[Ezio]] informs [[Antonio de Magianis|Antonio]] about this information and they both try to find a way for Ezio to infiltrate the heavily guarded [[Palazzo Ducale]]. They go around the Palazzo from every angle to search for a possible way to sneak in. Finally, being at the top of the [[Basilica di San Marco]], Antonio comments that it is impossible for Ezio to go over the gate surrounding the roof and that only birds can get in. That being said, Ezio remembers his [[Leonardo da Vinci|friend's]] [[Flying Machine]], the two then depart for Leonardo's workshop.
