During the 15th century, Venice was a republic: The Most Serene Republic of Venice (Venetian: (Serenìsima) Repùblica Vèneta or Repùblica de Venesia, Italian: Serenissima Repubblica di Venezia) or Venetian Republic, often referred to as La Serenissima, in reference to its title in Venetian.

Venice was formed from the refugees from the Hunnic and Germanic invasion of Padua, Aquileia, and Altino. Since, Venice became a major trade and naval power in not just Italy, but all of Europe. The city soon became the new battleground of the war between the Assassin's and Templars.

Landmarks

Assassin's Creed II will follow its original trademark of using famous real-life landmarks. But instead of the marvels of the Holy Land, Assassin's Creed II will feature landmarks such as Piazza San Marco, St. Mark's Basillica, the Grand Canal, the Little Canal, and Rialto Bridge.
