Palazzo della Seta
The Palazzo della Seta is a major building in Venice and the former residence of Venice's most powerful merchant, Emilio Barbarigo. Construction on the building started in 1450 and it was built in Gothic style.
In the events of Assassin's Creed II, Ezio Auditore tries to confront Emilio Barbarigo in his palace, but he soon finds out it is too heavily guarded. While Ezio is looking at the inscalable walls, a group of thieves lure the guards away while another thief, Rosa, scales the wall. However, Rosa is spotted by an archer and hit in her leg, after which Ezio brings her back to the Venetian Thieves Guild. He later receives their help to sneak into the Palazzo and assassinate Emilio Barbarigo as he was about to flee. Before this, he overheard his target talking to a noble named Carlo, who alerted Emilio of his presence in Venice. With the Palazzo theirs, Ezio is paid by Antonio and given the name of Carlo Grimaldi, a member of the Council of Ten. After this, the Palazzo was mainly inhabited by Antonio and his thieves.
