Cristina Vespucci, born sometime in 1459, was a well-known Florentine beauty and a favorite of painters, most notably Botticelli, who used her as a model for several of his paintings. Records kept by her father's guards indicate Ezio visited her quite frequently and that he was "unbelievably dextrous," as the guards were never able to catch him trespassing.
In addition to her looks, Cristina also seems to have been somewhat responsible for jumpstarting the career of her cousin, Amerigo. At a dinner party attended by Cristina and, among other illustrious guests, Lorenzo de' Medici, she was reputed to have been in conversation with Lorenzo and Manfredo Soderini about her cousin's brilliance as a sailor.
Well, apparently, she exaggerated his importance slightly to impress Lorenzo, and Lorenzo, charmed by her beauty, agreed to hire him. "Try Amerigo out. I bet after several years you'll have your shipping company named after him," she reported to have joked. Biggest understatement of the century.
