Ezio Auditore's villa collections
During the Renaissance, the Italian Assassin Ezio Auditore acquired a variety of item collections between 1476 to 1499[1] while on his hunt for the Templar conspirators behind the death of his father Giovanni and brothers, Federico and Petruccio.[2] He used said objects to decorate the Villa Auditore's various rooms in Monteriggioni, Italy.[1]

Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
The painting Portrait of a Lady appears to have been painted by Giovanni Ambrogio de Predis instead of Leonardo da Vinci as listed in its description, though there are mentions of Leonardo having painted a portrait of Beatrice d'Este in a similar style.
The painting The Ideal City (Urbino variant) is attributed to Francesco di Giorgio Martini and Piero della Francesca, but it has also been attributed to either Luciano Laurana or Melozzo da Forlì as well. Francesco di Giorgio Martini was known to have painted another variation, the Architectural Veduta.
Two of the targets' portraits have inaccurate descriptions in regards to their dates of death, with Vieri de Pazzi's portrait listing his death in 1477 instead of 1478 and Emilio Barbarigo's portrait stating that he died in 1484 instead of 1485.
