Giotto's Campanile was a free standing bell-tower built between 1334 and 1359; initially under the watch of Giotto di Bondone, and then his successors. One of the tallest structures in Florence, the Campanile accompanied the Santa Maria del Fiore, providing an impressive view of the city of Florence, and beyond, and housing up to seven separate bells at one point. By 1476, the upper levels of the campanile had been emptied for renovation.
Each windowed floor of the campanile is spaced a distinctly separate distance from the former, so as to give the impression from the ground that all are equal.
In order to get the Trophy/Achievement "High Dive," one must perform a Leap of Faith from the top of the tower. The player may also choose to synchronize at the View Point to reveal the map around the tower before performing the leap. It is also the highest View Point (though not the tallest building) in Assassin's Creed II.
Trivia
- The tower has been made a lot taller in the game than it actually is. In reality, it only reaches the base of the dome of the Basilica de Santa Maria del Fiore.
