How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
Ezio's family stronghold, a walled town he can renovate; the Villa Auditore inside it is fictional.
The real place
The ring of walls was built in 1213 to 1219, with 14 towers, and Dante mentions them in the Inferno. The real village is tiny and has no grand villa.
Visiting
Part of the wall walkway can be visited on a small ticket. Park outside the walls, and visit in early July for the medieval festival.
