Genoa

Genoa is a city in northern Italy.

In 1511, Ottoman Assassins sent from Constantinople by Ezio Auditore da Firenze eliminated a corrupt Genoese banker, who had been funneling money to French interests while claiming to be robbed on numerous occasions.

The Ottoman Assassins also took over Genoa from Templar control, and restored and expanded the city, also installing several Assassin Dens.
