How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
Ezio's home city, where the story opens in 1476 and which he returns to throughout the game.
The real place
The historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The game scales buildings down for climbing and leaves out some major monuments, notably the Baptistery.
Visiting
The centre is compact and best explored on foot. Book timed tickets for the Duomo climbs and the major museums well ahead in spring and summer.
