La Volpe Addormentata (English: The Sleeping Fox) was the headquarters of the thieves of Rome, who were led by La Volpe. The building was disguised as an inn to keep the Borgia's suspicions to a minimum, and it served as a part of Rome's underground which closely aided the Assassin Order.
History[edit | edit source]
In 1500, La Volpe and his guild began to consider repairing an old building in Rome's Antico District and turning it into their base of operations. Upon allying themselves with the Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze, who provided them with advice and funding for the renovations, the derelict building was remade into La Volpe Addormentata.[1]
La Volpe Addormentata then became a hub for intelligence gathering, particularly that which could be used in the Assassins' campaign against the Borgia; such as the movements of Cesare Borgia's generals, and the location of an Apple of Eden. In return, Ezio often visited the Thieves' Guild to aid in their battle against their rival gang, the Borgia-affiliated Cento Occhi.[2]
To mask its function as the thief headquarters, La Volpe Addormentata acted primarily as an inn and bar, and even hosted local guards as its patrons. Gambling was a main attraction at the inn, though La Volpe ensured that the Borgia guards would always lose.[1]
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- The interior of La Volpe Addormentata would change after installing The Da Vinci Disappearance downloadable content. A game of Hazard was added, as were several more patrons, and a courtesan dancing on a table.
- Unlike the other guild leaders, La Volpe could not be approached directly. Instead, Ezio needed to interact with objects in La Volpe Addormentata as he waited for La Volpe to come to him.
- Civilians outside La Volpe Addormentata could be heard cheering La Volpe's name.
