The Rosa in Fiore (English: Blooming Rose) was the base of the courtesans in Rome which later became the city's most popular brothel.
History
Under the Solari
Founded in 1480, the Rosa in Fiore was initially known for its preferential treatment for members of the Vatican: the higher the rank, the more women allowed in the room at once.[1] From as early as 1497, the Rosa in Fiore was run by both Madonna Solari and her brother Santino. Though already visited by various foreign and local patrons, the brothel was in poor shape; the courtesan Fiora Cavazza noted the filth and foul stenches hidden beneath the decorations and perfume.[2]
Madonna Solari encouraged her girls to do whatever was necessary to gain their customers' satisfaction, and was always quick to dismiss those who showed signs of disease. However, as Fiora once commented, "with so many sailors playing in foreign lands, I fear we face a losing battle."
Some time later, Cesare Borgia visited the brothel, after finding out that the Solari were caught up in some shady business deals. In exchange for their lives, the Solari offered the Captain General one of their girls for his personal service. After Cesare selected Fiora Cavazza, the Rosa in Fiore was allowed to continue operation.[2]
Auditore acquisition
In 1500, after the Italian Assassin Ezio Auditore sought an alliance with the courtesans of Rome, he discovered that their Madame was being held hostage by a group of slave traders, who had been hired by Cesare Borgia. Despite his attempts to rescue her, Madonna Solari was killed, as the bandits slit her throat when he attempted to bargain with them.[3]
Left leaderless, the Rosa in Fiore was taken over jointly by Ezio's sister Claudia and their mother Maria, against Ezio's initial protests. Despite this, Ezio paid architects for the necessary renovations to re-establish the brothel with the ransom money for the former Madame.[3] Over time, the Rosa in Fiore played host to many patrons visiting it each day, including important Roman cardinals, senators, and Papal Guards, proving as a invaluable information asset to the Assassins.[4]
Between 1503 and 1507, Rosa took over the position of Madame from Claudia, who was recovering from her injuries and trauma after being abducted by Borgia diehards.[5]
Trivia
