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 began in 1450 and it was built in a Gothic style.
During the Italian Renaissance, Ezio Auditore tries to confront Emilio in his palace, but he soon finds out it is too heavily fortified. 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.
Ezio later receives their help to sneak into the Palazzo and assassinate Emilio Barbarigo as he was about to flee. Before this, he overheard his assassination target talking to a nobleman named Carlo, who alerted Emilio of his presence in Venice. With the Palazzo theirs, Ezio was compensated by Antonio de Magianis and given the name of Carlo Grimaldi, a Templar and member of the Council of Ten. After this, the Palazzo was mainly inhabited by Antonio and his fellow thieves.
