Dialogue
A cannonball crashes into the ground next to them as they ride toward to city gates just missing them
 * Ezio: ...and then Minerva talked about the sun. She told of a disaster that occurred long ago and another that is coming.
 * Mario: Sometime far in future, vero (right)? Then we need not worry about it.
 * Ezio: Si (Yes). Perhaps our work is finished.
 * Mario: Would that be so bad?


 * Mario: (Laughing) We upgraded the arsenal while you were away.


 * Ezio: Ah. And it is now customary for you to fire cannonballs at visitors?


 * Mario: My apologies. We only installed them a few days ago. My men are still being trained in their use.

The two men reach the city gates and ride into Monteriggioni on horseback.


 * Woman 1: Welcome back Ezio.


 * Woman 2: Ezio! Look it's Ezio!


 * Ezio: Buon Giorno (Good day). It is good to be home.


 * Man: Felice Anno Nuovo! (Happy New Year!)


 * Ezio: This place just keeps getting better.


 * Mario: Thanks to you.

Mario and Ezio reach the stairs which lead to the Claudia.


 * Claudia: Brother!


 * Ezio: Claudia, (they embrace) it is good to be home. How is mother?


 * Claudia: She's fine. I heard you were returning, but I am glad to see it with my own eyes. The Contessa (Countess) of Forlì is here to welcome you. I had no idea you were so famous!


 * Ezio: Caterina? Here?


 * Claudia: Is it finished, then? Is the Spaniard truly dead?


 * Ezio: Gather the others in Mario's study tonight. I'll explain everything there.


 * Mario: Steal yourself, Ezio. They will have many questions.


 * Ezio: Claudia, tell the Contessa (Countess) I look forward to seeing her this evening.
