Ezio: Insieme per la vittoria! (We stand together!)
Insieme! (Together!)
Ezio: Silenzio (Silence), my friends. Silenzio! (Silence!)
Grazie.(Thank you.)
Do you know what brings us here tonight? HONOR! Vieri de’ Pazzi slanders my family’s name and forces his own miseries upon us. If w–
Vieri: Enough of your nonsense, grullo! (idiot!)
Ezio: Buona sera, Vieri! We were just talking about you. I’m surprised to see you here. I thought the Pazzi hired others to do their dirty work.
Vieri: It’s your family that cries for guards when there’s trouble, codardo! (coward!) Afraid to handle things yourself?
Ezio: Your sister seemed quite satisfied with the ‘handling’ I gave her earlier.
Vieri: Uccidetelo! (Kill him!)

“No. Killing you won’t bring my family back… I’m done.” – Ezio Auditore
Throwback Thursday to when Ezio spent over 20 years hunting down those responsible for the death of his family and decided to spare the big cheese in the end.
(P.S. Ezio’s final blessing during this scene is found here.)
Teodora: What is it, my son? You want to ask me something?
Ezio: I do. Forgive me, but – why is it you wear a nun’s habit if you aren’t one?
Teodora: Well whoever said I wasn’t? Indeed, I am married to the Lord.
Ezio: And yet you are also a courtesan? You run a bordello (brothel).
Teodora: So? I see no contradiction. How I choose to practice my faith – what I choose to do with my body – these are my choices to make.
Like many young women I was drawn to the church, but grew disillusioned by the ‘believers’ of this city. Men hold God only as an idea in their heads, not in the depths of their hearts and bodies.
Men must know how to love in order to reach salvation. My girls and I provide that to our congregation.
No church would agree with me, I realized, so I created my own. It may not be traditional, but men’s hearts grow firmer in my care.
Ezio: Among other things, I’m sure.
