The Passetto di Borgo was an eight-hundred meter long elevated walkway that ran through the center of Rome, which connected the Cappella Sistina with the Castel Sant'Angelo.
History
On December 28, 1499, the Assassin Ezio Auditore fought his way along the Passetto di Borgo, in order to reach the Grand Master of the Templars, Rodrigo Borgia.[1]
Roughly 4 years later, after Rodrigo's son, Cesare Borgia, killed him on August 18, 1503 with a poison-filled apple, the Templar used the Passetto to try and reach the Apple of Eden which Rodrigo had hidden in the courtyard in front of the Basilica di San Pietro. However, this attempt ultimately failed, as Ezio managed to race to the location first and retrieve it, shortly escaping the Vatican district afterwards.[2]
Trivia
- In Assassin's Creed II, the Passetto di Borgo was significantly larger, looking much more like a city wall than the raised walkway it is in reality.
- Accompanying this, the Passetto di Borgo was wrongly placed on the banks of the Tiber river.
- In Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, the Passetto di Borgo was an out-of-bounds area.
