Description

After arriving in Venice by boat from Romagna, Ezio and Leonardo da Vinci took a quick tour of Venice, led by a local, Alvise da Vilandino. During the tour, Ezio noticed the corrupt state of the city, and witnessed the unlawful arrest of a merchant by some guards. Ezio then noticed a group of thieves running past him, one of which turned out to be Rosa, who later became an ally of Ezio's. After a quick tour, they arrived at Leonardo's new workshop, which resembled the one he had in Florence. After a brief hug Ezio wejt back to his own business.
Dialogue
Ezio and Leonardo arrived in Venice. They were met by Alvise da Vilandino.
- Alvise: Messer da Vinci?
- Leonardo: Yes?
- Alvise: Buongiorno e ben arrivato! I am Alvise. Il Signor Dona has asked that I escort you to the workshop. Are you ready?
Ezio and Leonardo followed Alvise through Venice to his new workshop.
- Alvise: Ah, Venezia! What other place is as beautiful, as stable, as perfect? Come, I will show you her wonders!
Our first stop, the Rialto bridge! Behold the elegance with which she spans the Grand Canal; a symbol of Venetian unity and pride! Let us continue.
Here we are: San Giacomo di Rialto. Oldest church in Venezia. Isn't she beautiful? And her clock tower? Magnifico!
Come, come! There's more to see!
No other city can match the size of Venezia's markets. Be it spices or silk, from near and far, there is.....there is....
They saw a group of guards walking towards a merchant at a fish stand.
- Guard 1: You were told to stay home!
- Merchant: But the rent is paid! I have every right to sell here!
- Guard 1: Emilio disagrees!
They proceeded to destroy his fish stand.
- Merchant: No, stop! Stop!
- Alvise: Let us continue the tour...elsewhere.
- Leonardo: (nods nervously)

The three continued the tour. They soon arrived at another shop. Leonardo saw a miniature wooden figurine on display and picked it up.
- Leonardo: Look! Isn't it amazing? Would you mind buying it for me? I...uh...I left my money with my bags.
A group of thieves ran by and bumped Ezio, stealing his money. He first glimpsed Rosa.
- Ezio: Hey! Mind your step, coglione (jerk)!
Leonardo returned the figurine and they continued until they arrived at the Palazzo della Seta.
- Alvise: And here we have the Palazzo della Seta, home to Emilio Barbarigo. Normally, I'd suggest a closer look, but...with the way things are now....
- Ezio: Why? What's happened?
- Alvise: He is attempting to unify the merchants beneath a single banner. There's been resistance, some of it violent.
- Ezio: What kind of resistance?
- Alvise: They say they're fighting for the people; for freedom or some such nonsense. Baggianate (Nonsense), if you ask me.

The merchant walked up to the entrance of the Palazzo and spoke with the guards.
- Merchant: They destroyed my stand. I demand compensation!
- Guard 2: Here you are, then. (he guts the merchant with the back end of his spear)
- Merchant: The Doge will know about this! I'll report you to the Council!
- Guard 3: Good luck with that, my friend. (Guards 2 and 4 grab him)
- Merchant: What are you doing?!
- Guard 4: You're under arrest for disrupting commerce.
- Merchant: What?! You just invented that! There's no such law!
- Guard 4: There is now.
- Merchant: No! Stop!
They carried him away. Ezio, Leonardo and Alvise continued to the workshop.
- Alvise: And now, I present to you, your workshop, Ser da Vinci! We spared no expense in its design! You'll see it is perfect; as if you never left Firenze! I wish you great success and hope you enjoy Venezia as much as she enjoys having you.

Alvise held out his hand for a tip, but only received a pat on the shoulder from Leonardo. He walked away disappointed.
- Leonardo: So, here we are! Exciting, isn't it? Care to come in?
- Ezio: Maybe later. I need to visit the Palazzo della Seta; try and gain an audience with Emilio.
- Leonardo: As you wish, but should you find yourself with free time or another Codex page, don't hesitate to visit. My door is always open.
- Ezio: Grazie (Thank you), my friend.
Ezio hugged Leonardo.
- Leonardo: Di nulla. (It's nothing.)
Outcome
Ezio and Leonardo arrived in Venice and Ezio saw Rosa for the first time.
Trivia
- Between Tutti a Bordo and Benvenudo, Desmond expirences a flashback of Sep Ibn l'had's memories. Many people confuses this to be a memory of Altair, for Altiar is the playable character in the memory. This explains 2 things: Altiar as the playable character (Desmond was not following Altiar, but simply a sperm of Altiar that would later become Sep), and why the memory stayed with Maria, as by the end of his conception, Sep was a fetus in her body. This reveals another thing: that The Animus could relive ancestors memories while an ancestor was still a fetus or a sperm. This also reveals that the genetic part of memories resides within the sperm.
