- "I tell you there is very little Cattanei blood in them. Well, in Lucrezia, perhaps; but Cesare..."
- ―Vannozza to Ezio and Machiavelli, regarding her children.[src]
Vannozza dei Cattanei (1442 – 1518) was a noblewoman in Renaissance Italy and one of Rodrigo Borgia's lovers. She was the mother of Juan, Cesare, Lucrezia, and Jofré Borgia. Following the births of her children, Vannozza soon grew too old for Rodrigo's likings and had to leave the Borgia family. The children were left to grow up with Rodrigo, which caused Vannozza much grief, seeing as she barely recognized her own children as family.[1]
After Rodrigo's death[2] and Cesare's imprisonment in 1503,[3] the Italian Assassins Ezio Auditore and Niccolò Machiavelli went to question Vannozza about Cesare's whereabouts. However, Vannozza claimed to not know where her son was, and told them that Lucrezia was not likely to know any more than she knew herself.
