Trivia

• Caterina Sforza, who is featured in the game, was Countess of Forlì (from 1480 until 1500) and her legendary quotes are featured in the Battle of Forlì DLC of Assassin's Creed II: in 1488, her husband and Lord of Forlì, Girolamo Riario, was assassinated in a conspiracy led by the Orsis, a noble family of the city.

(I have the instrument to bear more!). This last part is without historical veracity but it is said to be featured in the game (but in the main game, it is only mentioned by Shaun).
• The town Forlì was a very provincial town, but the Fortress of Forlì was a one of the most fortified citadels in Italy. The Fortress was protectet with very big cannons. In Assassins Creed: Renaissance, when the Orsi Brothers attack Forlì, Caterina Sforza has to order that the cannons fire at enemy targets inside the town walls, and so, parts of the city got destroyed.
• It is in Forlì that the player can dye Ezio´s robes with the tints "Wetlands Ebony" and "Wetlands Ivory" to achieve the "Perfect Harmony" Trophy/Achievement.
