Italy (Latin and Italian: Italia) is a country located in southern Europe that shares borders with France, Switzerland, Austria, and Slovenia to the north.
History
Isu Era
During the Isu era, the First Civilization built at least three vaults in the area that would one day become the city of Rome. Certain of the Isu were later considered as gods by the Romans and ancient Greeks, with Jupiter, Minerva, and Juno comrpising what would be remembered as the Capitoline Triad, a group of gods worshipped on the Capitoline Hill.[1]
Antiquity
During antiquity, the city of Rome gradually conquered all of Italy, which then served as the hearland of the Roman Republic, and later, the Empire, as they expanded on other lands around the Mediterranean as in Hispanica, Cyrenaica and Greece. Circa 60 BCE, the Roman Republic became became influencial power in Egypt and the Middle East with the military campaigns of the consul Pompey. Another consul, Julius Caesar, conquered the Gaul in 52 BCE.[2]
In 49 BCE, a Civil War began between the two consul. After becoming dictator, Caesar tracked Pompey in Egypt. In 46 BCE, after triumphing from Pompey's and Ptolemy XIII's army, Caesar returned in Rome with Cleopatra VII, the pharaoh of Egypt, and their son Caesarion. In Egypt, Caesar became involved with the Order of the Ancients, a secret society which controlled Egypt for over a millenia. Two of their members, Lucius Septimius, who had killed Pompey, and Flavius Metellus, the proconsul of Cyrenaica, became close allies of Caesar. The dictator of the Republic even became the Father of Understanding of the Order.[2]
The senators Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longinus feared that Caesar took the control of the Republic and decided to act. They entered in contact with Aya of Alexandria, a former ally of Cleopatra who was betrayed by the Queen as she protected the Order which was responsible of her son's death, Khemu. Together, they founded the Hidden Ones, also known as the Liberatores, a secret group dedicated to protect the liberty of people. The 15th March 44 BCE, Aya killed Septimius and with Brutus, Longinus and other senators, they assassinated Caesar in the Roman Senate. After the death of the dictator, Cleopatra returned in Egypt after Aya threated her. Aya renamed herself Amunet and became the leader of the Hidden Ones in Rome.[2]
Renaissance
Italy served as the birthplace of the Renaissance, a cultural movement which soon spread throughout all of Europe, during the 15th century. At this point, Italy was not yet a unified country, and was divided into numerous regional states that each strove to conquer the other lands of Italy. The primary polities were the Republic of Florence, the Republic of Venice and the Papal States. While the Assassin Order and Templar Order had been active in Italy as far back as the time of the Roman Republic, it was during the Renaissance that both orders had their primary presence in Italy.[3]
When Rodrigo Borgia became Grand Master of the Italian Templars in 1476,[4] the Templars made plans to take over the main cities of northern Italy; notably Milan, Florence, Venice and Rome. Although most of their initial attempts were thwarted by the Assassins, thanks to the actions of Ezio Auditore da Firenze, the Templars nonetheless managed to seize control of Rome and the rest of the Papal States when Rodrigo Borgia was crowned Pope Alexander VI.[3]
Rodrigo's son, Cesare Borgia, further conquered several other regions of Italy in his role as Captain General of the Papal Armies. However, due to the subsequent actions of the Assassins, coupled with Rodrigo's death at the hands of his son, the Templars' influence in Rome and Italy reduced. The succeeding Popes, Pius III and Julius II, did not favor Cesare, and the Templars' influence in Italy collapsed, while the Assassins maintained a strong presence in the country.[1]
World War I
In the century after its unification occurred, Italy joined with the British Empire in First World War, supporting against the German Empire.
World War II
During the inter-war period, the dictator Benito Mussolini, joined forces with the Templar puppet, and dictator of Germany, Adolf Hitler. Together with Japan, the Axis was formed, and the Second World War started against the Allies, perpetrated by the United Kingdom, the United States and the Soviet Union, led by Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Joseph Stalin, both three, sympathizers of the Templar Order.
Modern times
By the early 21st Century the Templars had returned to prominence in the country, thanks mainly to the establishment of an Abstergo Industries laboratory in Rome.[5] In 2012, a team of Assassins consisting of Desmond Miles, Lucy Stillman, Shaun Hastings, and Rebecca Crane traveled through the country in the weeks after Desmond escaped from the Roman facility.[3]
