Madonna Solari (unknown - 1500) was the owner of the Rosa in Fiore brothel in Rome, and sister to Santino.
Biography
Madame of Roma
- "Madonna Solari pushes us to mingle. Flirt. Romance. Seduce. Whatever necessary."
- ―Fiora Cavazza describing her Madame.[src]
As the Madame of the popular Rosa in Fiore, Madonna Solari encouraged her courtesans to do "whatever necessary" to gain their visitors' patronage.[1]
Despite playing host to many customers, the brothel itself was not in good shape, and as a certain courtesan of the Rosa once described, "Filth can be hidden by shadows. Foul smells masked by stronger scents, mostly imported. Disease is... difficult."[1]
Madonna Solari also quickly dismissed any of her girls who showed symptoms of disease, but as they entertained many clients from several foreign lands, they were fighting a "losing battle."[1]
At one point, Madonna Solari and her brother attempted to delve into slave trade as well; however, this angered Cesare Borgia, who saw this as "dabbling in trades where they are unwelcome." In exchange for their lives, she and Santino allowed Cesare to take one of their courtesans, Fiora Cavazza, as his own.[1]
Death
- "We have girls working for us in a brothel frequented by the cardinals and other important Romans, but the Madame there is lazy and would rather attend parties than further our cause."
- ―Niccolò Machiavelli.[src]
For a time, Madonna Solari aided the Assassins in their fight against the Borgia, but soon became lazy, taking preference to attending parties instead. She also began taking bribes from Templar priests and clergymen to divulge information about the Assassins.[2]
In 1500, Madonna Solari was taken captive by Cento Occhi slave traders under the order of Cesare Borgia, who promised to release her for 2,500 florins. Ezio Auditore, who had recently arrived in Rome, gathered the money and went to the slave traders' ship. However, the slave traders did not keep their promise, and slit Madonna Solari's throat, forcing Ezio to kill them and retrieve his money.[2]
Claudia Auditore and her mother Maria then took over ownership of Rosa in Fiore when Ezio returned with news of her demise.[2]
Trivia
- Madonna Solari's appearance is that of a normal courtesan; but differs in each playthrough due to the randomization of the character model.
