At some point during 1454, Mario Auditore created a painting gallery in the Villa, taking advantage of his brother's connections in Florence to import fine art.[1] From 1476 to 1499, Ezio gathered various pieces of Renaissance artwork from art merchants in several different cities, which were displayed in the villa's painting gallery. These paintings were the works of many prominent artists.[2]

After having obtained an old storeroom on Tiber Island from Fabio Orsini, the Assassin Order re-decorated a room to house a painting gallery. Ezio once again gathered paintings, sold by art merchants throughout Rome - all of which were the works of Raphael. Additionally, portraits of primary assassination targets were displayed in the same gallery.[3]
