The Palazzo della Signoria (also known as the Palazzo Vecchio) was a building in central Florence, and the center of governmental power during the Italian Renaissance. Atop the building stood a noticeably off-center clocktower, which also served as a holding cell. The square in front of the building served as a marketplace and a site for executions.
History
Executions
In 1476 the execution of Giovanni Auditore and two of his sons, Federico and Petruccio, was held at the Palazzo della Signoria. It was also the execution site of the infamous priest, Girolamo Savonarola, by an angry mob of Florentines in 1498.
Pazzi Conspiracy
During the Pazzi Conspiracy, Ezio Auditore pursued and assassinated Francesco de' Pazzi on the roof of the Palazzo, before allowing those loyal to the ruling Medici family to hang him from the battlements.
Trivia
- There was a view point on top of the Palazzo's clocktower.
- Historically, many of the people who were involved in the Pazzi Conspiracy were hanged from the Palazzo. In the game, only Francesco was shown to be hanged.
- Ezio was unable to climb up to the pinnacle of the tower.
- This was the last place Ezio had a conversation with his father before Giovanni was executed.
