Annetta
Annetta (1457 - 1511) was the Auditore family servant and sister of Paola.
Biography
Early life
At an early age, Annetta and Paola lost their parents when they were killed at sea.[1]
As orphans, and left with little choice of livelihood, Paola chose a life in prostitution, while Annetta became the live-in maid of the Auditore family in Florence, who were secretly a family of Assassins.[1]
Auditore execution
In 1476, Giovanni, Federico, and Petruccio Auditore were executed on false crimes of treason.[1]
Ezio Auditore, the remaining male member of the family, asked Annetta to bring his mother and sister to a safe place, to which she suggested her sister's place.[1]
After meeting Ezio there, Annetta was amused by his reaction, once he saw that her sister ran a brothel.[1]
Later life
Annetta later came to live with the Auditore family again, this time at the Villa Auditore in Monteriggioni, where Ezio had escorted his family.[2]
Some time after, Annetta chose to move back to Florence to stay with her sister, until her death in around 1511.[3]
Trivia
