Dialogue

What of Him

• Ezio: Ehi! Claudia. How are you?
• Claudia: Bene... (Okay...)
• Ezio: You shouldn't keep things from me.
• Claudia: It's Duccio.
• Ezio: What of him?
• Claudia: I think he's been... unfaithful.
• Ezio: Who told you this?
• Claudia: The other girls.
  I thought they were my friends.
• Ezio: Harpies! You're better off without them.
• Claudia: I loved him.
• Ezio: No, Claudia. You only thought you did.
• Claudia: He should suffer for what he's done.
• Ezio: Wait here. I'll go have a word with him.

The Fight

Ezio finds Duccio near the Santa Maria del Fiore along with another woman.

• Woman: Oh, Duccio! It's beautiful!
• Duccio: Nothing but the best for you, amore mio (my love).
• Woman: But... what of Claudia? I thought you'd been promised to her?
• Diccio: Father said I could do much better than an Auditore.
• Woman: Birbante! (Naughty!) Come, let us walk a bit.
• Duccio: Walk? I had something else in mind... (Kisses her)

Ezio intrepts them by shouting at Duccio.

• Ezio: Ehi, lurido porco! (Hey, dirty pig!)
• Duccio: Ezio, my friend!

Ezio punches his lower jaw.

• Duccio: Ma che ti piglie!?! (What the hell!?!)
• Ezio: You insult my sister, parading around with this puttana.
• Duccio: Wh-what are you talking about?!
• Ezio: I saw the gift you gave her. Heard the things you said.
• 'Duccio: Maybe your sister shouldn't be so stingy with her virtù... (virtue...)
• Ezio: You broke her heart.
• Duccio: And now I'm going to break your face!

Ezio and Duccio start a fist fight on the streets.

• Duccio: You Auditore all talk big, but when it comes time for action? Hah!
• Ezio: You'll regret ever opening your mouth!
• Duccio: I could have taught your sister a great many things!
  She's lucky to have someone like me!
• Ezio: Bastardo!

Ultimately Duccio is no match for Ezio and surrenders.

• Duccio: Basta! Mi arrendo! (Stop! I yield!)
• Ezio: Stay away from my sister!

Outcome

• Ezio makes sure that Duccio never speaks to his sister again.
• Beat Up side missions are unlocked.
