Carlotta Moro
Carlotta Moro was the ex-wife of Dante Moro and widow of Doge Marco Barbarigo.
History
At some point in her life, she married Dante Moro, son of Cristoforo Moro, Doge of Venice, and Captain of the Venetian Guard. Over time, Marco Barbarigo, a noble and future Doge of Venice took interest in Carlotta, and desired her.
Eventually, Marco ordered some henchmen to kill Dante, so that he could marry Carlotta. Ultimately, Dante did not die, but was left severely brain-damaged, becoming like a child, something Marco took advantage of. He coerced Dante into signing a contract annulling the marriage, in Carlotta's presence. Marco then married Carlotta and hired Dante as his bodyguard, since Dante lost his position as Captain of the Venetian Guard. Carlotta remained married to Marco after he became Doge of Venice in 1485.
Eventually, in February or March 1486, Marco was assassinated by Ezio Auditore da Firenze, much to Carlotta's happiness. After Dante was rehired as a bodyguard by Marco's cousin, Silvio, Carlotta wrote her ex-husband a letter, and in it expressed a strong desire to remarry him and to restore his mental state. Dante received the letter, and kept it with him, there is, however, no evidence the words had any effect on him.
However, later in the same year Ezio also assassinated Silvio, and Dante, being Silvio's bodyguard, was a consequential casualty of Silvio's assassination. Carlotta's letter fell into Ezio's hands, but it is unknown whether Ezio read it, or what he did with it.
Letter (1486)
My love,
I wonder if ever the day will come when these words might make sense to you once more. I am sorry for what I've done - for what you and I have both become. Though we could not be together, just knowing you were near was enough. And now, with Marco dead, I may yet find a way for us to be joined again.
But do you even remember me? Or were the wounds too grave? Do my words stir- if not your memory, then your heart? It doesn't matter what they say- I know you're still in there, somewhere.
I will find a way, my love. To remind you. To restore you...
Love always,
Carlotta
