Talk:Mario Auditore

Is Mario's name Mario Auditore da Firenze? The only reason I ask is that the suffix 'da Firenze' would imply that he (and his brother Giovanni, for that matter) is from Firenze (Florence) when he isn't. Italian surnames of this period did not conform to modern ideas of a son having exactly the same name as his father so Giovanni (who, as I alluded before is not, I think, from Florence originally) would have named his son after the city of his birth. Mario may be better refered to as Mario Auditore da Monteriggioni if that was indeed where he was born.

The "da Firenze" from their name is a title, not the place of birth. Giovanni and Mario weren't nobles by birth, so they only had a surname. And sign your posts, please. -- D. Cello 15:15, November 28, 2009 (UTC)

Well that's me telt. Doesn't make much sense that Mario would have a Florentine title but then the first game featured Christian priests (or monks)complaining that their sons weren't as brave as Altair so I guess Vidic was right that we can't trust what's written in books 'or an online encyclopedia'.

@signore cello,

da firenze indeed isn't a title, furthermore it really means coming from florence.

If you do some research on Leonardo, you will find out that his name is Leonardo di Ser Piero - to us known as Leonardo da Vinci. Da Vinci meaning he's coming from Vinci. yours Floxy
