| |
| | |
| The '''Villa Salviati''' was a large villa located in [[Tuscany]], outside the city of [[San Gimignano]].
| |
| | |
| ==History==
| |
| Made wealthy through his connections to the Pope, Archbishop [[Francesco Salviati]] purchased this Tuscan villa in 1475 in anticipation of becoming archbishop of Florence. He spent the next few years having it renovated in the Tuscan style, while plotting with the [[House of Pazzi|Pazzi family]] to invade [[Florence]]. This left him very little time to enjoy it before his demise.
| |
| | |
| After the [[Pazzi Conspiracy]] failed, archival documents indicate that Salviati swapped his archbishop outfit with one of the residents of Florence, who was then lynched in his place, while he escaped to his villa.
| |
| | |
| The [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] infiltrated the villa with the help of his uncle [[Mario Auditore|Mario]]'s [[mercenaries]], in order to assassinate Salviati.
| |
| | |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| * In ''[[Assassin's Creed Embers]]'', a portion of the Villa Salviati was used to model Ezio's villa.
