"I have created a small gallery in the Villa. Monteriggioni's artists are always welcome to study them."

The painting gallery was an area where paintings purchased by Ezio Auditore were stored and showcased. A gallery was first present in the Villa Auditore, and later another was created in the Tiber Island headquarters.
