Colosseo

Ezio, my friend! How may I be of service? This article is in desperate need of a revamp. Please improve it in any way necessary in order for it to achieve a higher standard of quality in accordance with our Manual of Style. |
The Colosseo (English: Colosseum), is one of the most famous landmarks of Rome, and is featured in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. It is also the location of a Lair of Romulus in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. During the time when the Borgia family ruled Rome the Colosseo became dilapidated and began to crumble. In Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood it is a location of one of Subject 16's puzzles.
The Colosseo is where the Passion play is held, as the crosses displayed there are for the actors. Micheletto attended the play as one of the actors in an attempt to kill Pietro by order of Cesare Borgia. However, the plan was foiled as Ezio disguised himself and his apprentices as actors, and caused a riot in the arena.
After killing Cesare Borgia in Viana, Ezio hid the Apple of Eden in a vault in the Palace of Nero underneath the Colosseo. The modern-day assassins discovered this via the Animus, and headed to the Colosseo in Rome, where they discovered the Apple's vault underneath the structure.
Trivia
- The Colosseo is elliptical (oval-shaped) in real life, but it was made circular for the game, as devising shadows for different sides of the buildings would have been a "nightmare" for Ubisoft.[1]
- The Colosseo is one of the landmarks that Ezio can purchase after destroying the Borgia Tower in that area.
- There are many normal citizens on the upper levels of the Colosseo, although it is unknown how they got up there. If any of the citizens are interrupted by Ezio (either pushing, shoving, or free running next to them), the citizens will start free running down onto the lower platforms of the Colosseo.
- It is a view point location.
