History[edit | edit source]

Construction[edit | edit source]

Built in 1435 by Niccolò III d'Este as a summer home, Belriguardo was continuously added to until it became one of the most celebrated palaces in Italy. It featured stabling for five hundred horses, secret passages, stately corridors, marble loggias, box-lined gardens, and a chapel painted by Cosimo Tura.[1]

Renaissance[edit | edit source]

In 1506, the Duke's wife Lucrezia Borgia discovered that the Assassin Ezio Auditore had broken into Belriguardo, evading the guards on high alert across the estate. Lucrezia was able to summon assistance, but Ezio escaped with one of her paintings, Leonardo da Vinci's Annunciation.[2]
