The citizens, rallied by Niccolò Machiavelli, La Volpe and Paola mass in front of the Palazzo Pitti, to confront Girolamo Savonarola. Weakened by the loss of of his lieutenants, Savonarola tries to use the Apple to subdue the crowd. Ezio Auditore prevents Savonalora from using the artifact by throwing a knife and injuring his hand.
