The Ezio Auditore Affair

The Ezio Auditore Affair is a memory in The Da Vinci Disappearance downloadable content pack for Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.

Ezio Auditore, having acquired an invitation, travels to the Castel Sant'Angelo for an art exposition in search of the remaining da Vinci paintings stolen from the Villa Auditore after the attack.

Dialogue
Ezio Auditore meets with a group of courtesans on the bridge to the Vatican. He instructs them on what to do once inside the Castel Sant'Angelo. The courtesans, led by Ezio, make their way to the art viewing but are stopped by a guard at the entrance to the Castello. Ezio hands the guard the invitation and the group of courtesans flirt with him as they pass. Ezio makes his way around the viewing, in the outer yard of the Castello, in search of the first painting. Ezio identifies the first painting and marks it for theft. Soon after, a guard emerges from the Castello, inviting the cardinals inside. Ezio sneaks into the Castello to locate the final Leonardo painting. Once the painting has been identified and marked for theft, Ezio begins his escape. His actions do not go unnoticed.
 * Ezio: Come with me. Once we get inside, I will mark the paintings for you to steal. Bring them to Leonardo's workshop. Capito? (Understand?)
 * Guard #1: Invitation?
 * Ezio: Here.
 * Guard #1: Oh my. Come back soon...I hope.
 * Cardinal #1: How daring! I have not seen an annunciation from this angle before.
 * Cardinal #2: The composition suffers I feel. The light of God is not properly expressed. It does not move me.
 * Cardinal #1: You are truly stuck in your ways, my friend.
 * Guard #2: The upper floors are now open to the cardinals who wish to see additional expressions of devotion.
 * Guard #3: Two of the paintings are missing! Be on the lookout for a thief!

Outcome
Ezio locates the final two paintings and vacates the Castello.
