The Villa Salviati was a large villa located in Tuscany, outside the city of San Gimignano.
History
Made wealthy through his connections to the Pope, Archbishop Francesco Salviati purchased this Tuscan villa in 1475 in anticipation of becoming archbishop of Florence. He spent the next few years having it renovated in the Tuscan style, while plotting with the Pazzi family to invade Florence. This left him very little time to enjoy it before his demise.[1]

The Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze infiltrated the villa with the help of his uncle Mario's mercenaries, in order to assassinate Salviati.[2]
