- "Welcome to the Rosa in Fiore; as you can see, the most popular brothel in Roma."
- ―Claudia Auditore.[src]
The Rosa in Fiore (English: Blooming Rose) was the base of the courtesans in Rome, which later became the city's most popular brothel.
History
Under the Solari
- "Filth can be hidden by shadows. Foul smells masked by stronger scents, mostly imported. Disease is... difficult."
- ―Fiora Cavazza, a courtesan of the Rosa.[src]
From as early as 1497, the Rosa was run jointly by Madonna Solari and her brother Santino. Though already visited by various foreign and local patrons, the brothel was in poor shape; with one courtesan, Fiora Cavazza, once noting the filth and foul smells hidden beneath the decorations and perfume.[1]
Madonna Solari encouraged her girls to do what ever necessary to gain their customers' satisfaction, and was always quick to dismiss those who showed signs of disease. However, as Fiora once commented, because of "so many sailors playing in foreign lands, I fear we face a losing battle."[1]
Under the Auditore
In 1500, after Ezio Auditore sought an alliance with the courtesan guild, he discovered that their Madame was being held hostage by a group of slave traders, who had been hired by Cesare Borgia. Despite his attempts to rescue her, Madonna Solari was killed.[2]
Left leaderless, the Rosa in Fiore was then taken over by Claudia Auditore, alongside her mother. Ezio funded the renovations necessary to re-establish the brothel, and over time, it played host to many more men visiting it each day, including important Roman Cardinals, senators and Papal Guards.[2]
Trivia
- One of the Rifts is located on the Rosa, on its northern wall.
- In Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy, it is revealed that Fiora Cavazza met Cesare Borgia while she was employed under Madonna Solari at the Rosa in Fiore.
- In the novelization of Brotherhood, Rosa takes over the position of Madame from Claudia between 1503 and 1507.
