Brothel

Brothels acted as the homes and workplaces of the courtesans. They could be found in Florence, Venice, Rome and Monteriggioni, and all of them appeared to have small rooftop gardens, which distinguished them from other nearby buildings. In Rome, other than its central brothel, the Rosa in Fiore, there were several small faction buildings that could be renovated into brothels, allowing the courtesans that resided nearby to be hired.

La Rosa Colta
La Rosa Colta (The Plucked Rose) was a brothel located in the city of Florence, headed by Paola. It was founded in 1465, when Paola decided to help the women of the streets by giving them a home. It was commonly visited by members of the signoria, as well as those of the Medici family. Here, the Assassin Ezio Auditore was taught the ways and discretion of the courtesans, eventually learning how to blend and to pickpocket.

La Rosa della Virtù
La Rosa della Virtù (The Rose of Virtue) was a brothel located in the city of Venice, and its head courtesan was Teodora. The brothel was founded and run by former nuns, therefore the Pope repeatedly tried to have it closed. Despite this, it continued to operate until a fire in the year 1516. Here, Ezio spoke with Teodora and the other courtesans about planning the assassination of Marco Barbarigo.

Rosa in Fiore


The Rosa in Fiore (The Blooming Rose) was the center of courtesan operations in Rome, first managed by Madonna Solari, then jointly by Maria and Claudia Auditore. The courtesans here were used to gather information on the Borgia's forces in Rome.
