Villa Auditore
In his adventure, Ezio will discover the Auditore Family Villa, in the city of Monteriggioni. Perched atop a beautiful Tuscan valley, Monteriggioni has become run down and is badly in need of repair. The Villa will become Ezio’s domain. The Villa was built by Ezio's great-grandfather.
Ezio is able to renovate both the town of Monteriggioni and the Auditore Villa. By investing in shops, Ezio can gain discounts to their wares, whilst improving the local economy. You may also choose to redecorate the Auditore Villa with famous renaissance paintings, weapons and armor, and store a variety of collected objects. These items increase the worth of the Villa, and so the revenue generated each 20 minutes grows. As the player invests in Monteriggioni, the Villa's outside appearance improves over time. Boards across windows are taken down, overgrown plants recede, and flags bearing the assassin symbol appear around the roof. While the shop's appearance will improve, Monteriggioni's citizens always seem to be poorer (in clothing) than their counterparts from the cities.
Claudia and Maria Auditore remain at the villa for the rest of the game. Claudia keeps records of Monteriggioni's income, while Maria prays in one of the bedrooms.
Mario's office contains wall-space where deciphered Codex Pages can be placed and pieced together. Later, Mario reveals a hidden room in which Altair's armour is locked. The underground chamber also hides statues of Greek, Roman Egyptian and Chinese assassins from the past. In order to unlock Altair's armour, the player must collect six keys from the sarcophagi of assassin tombs across Italy.
