  Courtesans flirt with the guard

  Leonardo's workshop. Capito? (Understand?)

The courtesans, led by Ezio, make their way to the art viewing but are stopped by a guard at the entrance to the Castello.

• Guard #1: Invitation?
• Ezio: Here.

Ezio hands the guard the invitation and the group of courtesans flirt with him as they pass.

• Guard #1: Oh my. Come back soon...I hope.

Ezio makes his way around the viewing, in the outer yard of the Castello, in search of the first painting.

• Cardinal #1: How daring! I have not seen an annunciation from this angle before.
• Cardinal #2: The composition suffers I feel. The light of God is not properly expressed. It does not move me.
• Cardinal #1: You are truly stuck in your ways, my friend.

Ezio identifies the first painting and marks it for theft. Soon after, a guard emerges from the Castello, inviting the cardinals inside.

A guard reveals that the upper floor paintings are now available for viewing.

• Guard #2: The upper floors are now open to the cardinals who wish to see additional expressions of devotion.

Ezio sneaks into the Castello to locate the final Leonardo painting. Once the painting has been identified and marked for theft, Ezio begins his escape. His actions do not go unnoticed.

• Guard #3: Two of the paintings are missing! Be on the lookout for a thief!

Outcome

Ezio locates the final two paintings and vacates the Castello.
