Pienza
Pienza is an Italian commune in the Val d'Orcia in the province of Siena (Tuscany). Pienza, formerly known as the Corsignano, is a Tuscan village where Enea Silvio de Piccolomini, later Pope Pius II, was born. A year after his election in 1459, Pius II raised his native town to city status and Episcopal residence, under the new name "Pienza", derived from Pius. He undertook an extensive program, he asked the architect Bernardo Rossellino intended to make Pienza a model city of the Renaissance. His death in 1464 put a premature end to his operations: he did have time to build a papal palace and a cathedral.
Pienza is a multiplayer map featured in the Animus Project Update 2.0 Downloadable Content pack for Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, and was later merged alongside the Mont Saint-Michel map in The Da Vinci Disappearance and Animus Project Update 3.0.
