Last Words
Ezio: Where is Jacopo?
Salviati: He knows you come for him... emerging only in darkness to meet with the others...
Ezio: That answers when... Now tell me where? La fede dovrebbe dare conforto, non pena. (Faith should bring comfort, not pain.) Requiescat in Pace. (Rest in peace.)
Trivia
In real life, Archbishop Salviati was the main instigator of the conspiracy and not the Pazzis. He was supposed to go to the Palazzo Vecchio and kill the Gonfaloniere Petrucci and take hold of the Palazzo della Signoria. Yet, he was arrested by Petrucci and hanged by a mob from the window of the Sala dei Duecento next to Francesco de Pazzi. He sank his teeth into Pazzi's chest as he died. His body was cut down and desecrated.
