Finally, Francesco began to prepare for the act of the assassination itself. He blocked every possible exit from Niccolò's manor, trapping his target within, and sent a roaring mob to the front of the house to keep the guards busy. Using courier pigeons to send messages, Francesco contacted and gathered a group of his [[Assassins|order]] to slay more and more of Niccolò's guards, while he entered the manor himself.

Francesco Vecellio in his Assassin attire.
The Assassination of Niccolò di Pitigliano was an event recorded in Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy. It is the second chapter of the Italian Wars Memory Sequence, and the Achievement unlocked by completing it is called "Manhunter." The chapter takes place in the city of Lonigo, Italy, in the year 1510, and follows Francesco Vecellio's quest to assassinate Niccolò di Pitigliano.
On The Hunt
Entering the city of Lonigo, Francesco Vecellio started his routine of investigating his target. Disguised as a local, Francesco began to frequent the town's streets, courtesans, and taverns, familiarizing himself with the place, and gleaning rumours about Niccolò. Soon, it was altogether evident that most of the city's inhabitants loathed Niccolò. Francesco began intercepting Niccolò's couriers, and interrogating them for information. In time, Francesco also began stalking his target and his house, noting every single detail of Niccolò's routine.
Bait and Trap
As soon as he was familiar with Niccolò and the town of Lonigo, Francesco began to make his move. He assassinated key supporters of his target, the politicians and corrupt churchmen of the city. Francesco intercepted Niccolò's assistants, looting the money they were given for purchases, and soon enough intimidated his mark enough by his deeds. Rumours spread around the town about Niccolò - rumours started and circulated by Francesco himself - and the citizens of Lonigo began to resent Niccolò. Panicking, Niccolò sent convoys of his prized belongings and family members out of the city, but found them either robbed or turned back.
Niccolò's supporter lays dead.
Bloodwork
Finally, Francesco began to prepare for the act of the assassination itself. He blocked every possible exit from Niccolò's manor, trapping his target within, and sent a roaring mob to the front of the house to keep the guards busy. Using courier pigeons to send messages, Francesco contacted and gathered a group of his order to slay more and more of Niccolò's guards, while he entered the manor himself. After determining Niccolò's exact location and successfully evading detection, Francesco moved in and completed his assassination.
Francesco enters the manor.
Playing Dead
After being struck by Francesco, Niccolò miraculously continued to live and, after the Assassin had left, used The Shroud, which he had hidden under the floorboards under his desk, to partially heal his wounds. After some intense hallucinations, he attempted to escape his manor, finding it ablaze. He finally managed to climb out a window, but was too weak to carry on. Niccolò, in an attempt to recuperate completely, wrapped himself in The Shroud and unleashed it's power. However, instead of healing him, it horribly mangled and destroyed his body. Barely alive, he witnessed Vecellio taking The Shroud after spouting only one word: "Disgusting".
