Passetto di Borgo
The Passetto di Borgo is an eight-hundred meter long elevated walkway in Rome, Italy, connecting Castel Sant'Angelo to the Vatican.
History[edit | edit source]
On 28 December 1499, the Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze fought his way along the Passetto di Borgo in order to reach Pope Alexander VI, Grand Master of the Italian Templars.[1]
Roughly four years later, after Rodrigo's son, Cesare Borgia, killed him using a poison-filled apple, Cesare used the Passetto to try and reach the Apple of Eden that Rodrigo had hidden in the courtyard of St. Peter's Basilica.[2] However, this attempt ultimately failed, as Ezio managed to race to the location first and retrieved the Apple before escaping the Vatican.[3]
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- In-game, the Passetto is depicted as much taller and wider than it is in reality.
- In Assassin's Creed II, the Passetto di Borgo was wrongly placed on the banks of the Tiber River.
- In Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, the Passetto was an out-of-bounds area.
