Arrivederci is a memory in Assassin's Creed II.

Description

After losing his notoriety , Ezio returns to Paola. He informs his sister and mother of the fate that befell his father and brothers. Ezio then decides that they must leave Florence and head to Monteriggioni, where his uncle Mario owns a villa.

Dialogue

Ezio enters La Rosa Colta worried.

• Paola: Bentornato Ezio. (Welcome back). Were you successful?
• Ezio: Yes.

  

  Ezio is reunited with his mother and sister.

She calls Ezio's mother and sister, and Annetta escorts them to her.

• Ezio: Madre? (Mother?)

Claudia is excited and relieved to see her brother and hugs him.

• Claudia: Ezio! Where have you been?! They wouldn't let us leave. And mother... Uch! She hasn't spoken a single word since we left the house. Father will need to sort things out...
  Where is father? And Federico? and Petruccio?
  Hmmm?
• Ezio: Something's happened.
• Claudia: What do you mean?

Her question is answered when Ezio looks at her with sorrow.

• Claudia: No. It's impossible!
• Ezio: Claudia...
• Claudia: No, no, no, no.
• Ezio: I did everything I could, piccina (little one)...

She cries onto his shoulder.

• Ezio: Listen, right now what matters is getting us all someplace safe. But to do that, I need you to stay focused. Do you understand?

She calms down, and nods at Ezio.

• Ezio: Good. Will you watch over mother for me?

She walks to her mother and Ezio speaks to Paola.

• Ezio: Then we are ready.
  Thank you again, for everything.
• Paola: Stay safe, Ezio. Stay vigilant. I suspect the road ahead is yet long.

  

  Ezio and his family bypass the guards.

Ezio walks through the city, not drawing any attention to him or his family. On reaching the city gates Ezio, pays a few courtesans to distract the guards.

The three of them walk all the way to Monteriggioni.

• Claudia: How could this have happened to us?
• Ezio: I don't know.
• Claudia: Will we ever be back?
• Ezio: I don't know.
• Claudia: What will happen to our house?
• Ezio: (irritated) I don't know!
• Claudia: Were they... Were they given a proper burial?
• Ezio: (nods) Yes. They were...

Outcome

Ezio Auditore leaves Florence along with his mother and sister.

Trivia

• Ezio's mention of his father and brothers receiving a proper burial is a reference to the Cristina Memory Last Rites in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, where Cristina assisted Ezio in paying his last respects to his kin.
