Pienza was an Italian commune, located within the Val d'Orcia in the province of Siena (Tuscany).
Pienza, formerly known as the Corsignano, was a Tuscan village where Enea Silvio de Piccolomini, and later
Pope Pius II, was born. A year after his election in 1459, Pius II raised his native town to city status and Episcopal residence, under the new name "Pienza", derived from Pius. He undertook an extensive program in which he asked the architect Bernardo Rossellino to make Pienza a model city of the Renaissance. His death in 1464 put a premature end to his operations: however he did have time to build both a papal palace and a cathedral.
Pienza is a multiplayer map featured in the Animus Project Update 2.0 Downloadable Content pack for Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, and was later merged alongside the Mont Saint-Michel map in The Da Vinci Disappearance and Animus Project Update 3.0.
