As part of his plan to draw out [[Dante Moro]] and [[Templars|Templar]] [[Silvio Barbarigo]], by placing [[mercenaries]] in strategic points through the [[Castello district]], [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]] returned to [[Bartolomeo d'Alviano]] to set the next stage into motion.
−
This memory involved the assassination of [[Silvio Barbarigo]] and [[Dante Moro]]. [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio]] climbed to the top of the highest point in the Castello, and activated a flare gun-like mechanism, thus signaling the [[Mercenary|Mercenaries]] to begin attacking Silvio's men. He then went to help [[Bartolomeo d'Alviano]], and he fought Dante. After some time, Dante and Silvio began to flee to the ships but were assassinated by Ezio before they could escape.

Silvio laughed.

  • Silvio: My greatest regret is that I could not have been the one to pull the lever. To watch him kick and gasp and hang! You'll follow him into the ground! You and that condottiero (mercenary captain) too! And after we'll come for the others! Your uncle. Your mother. Your sweet, sweet sister. Enough of this! We're out of time!

Silvio signalled to Dante.

  • Silvio: Return to me. We must depart.
  • Bartolomeo: Ezio! Go now! That brute will no doubt lead you straight to his master. My men and I will remain here and keep the guards from giving chase.

  • Silvio: God damn them all! I've been nothing but loyal! And this – THIS – is how they repay me?
  • Dante: What trouble, master?
  • Silvio: Don't you see what's happened?!
  • Dante: No.
  • Silvio: Of course not, slow as you are. We've been betrayed! The ship has sailed – without us! And now the Assassin approaches.
    Perhaps there's still time for us to escape. If not to the island, at least away from here...
  • Dante: As you command.
Two birds 10

Silvio and Dante's final moments.

  • Silvio: Yes. Prepare the ship!
  • Crew: Raise the sails! Pull up the anchor.

  • Silvio: Just a distraction. We were meant to sail...
  • Ezio: Sail where?
  • Silvio: I'll never tell.
  • Dante: Cyprus is their destination. They want... they want...
  • Ezio: Non temete l'oscurita, accettate il suo abbraccio (Fear not the darkness, but welcome its embrace). Requiescant in pace (Rest in peace).

Bartolomeo reunited with Ezio.

  • Bartolomeo: Well done, Ezio! Silvio is defeated and the military district returned to us! Perhaps now Venezia might finally enjoy a bit of pace e tranquilita (peace and quiet)! We should celebrate this victory!
Two birds 11

Bartolomeo and a mercenary, along with Ezio after Silvio and Dante's death.

  • Ezio: I am glad for you and your men, Bartolomeo, but I cannot join. I fear my work has just taken a rather strange turn...
  • Bartolomeo: What do you mean?
  • Ezio: Silvio wasn't looking to replace Marco as Doge. He was about to leave Venezia, in fact. This whole thing was just a distraction.
  • Bartolomeo: Why?
  • Ezio: That is what I need to find out.

Outcome

Silvio Barbarigo and Dante Moro were killed, and the Castello district was freed from Templar power.

Trivia
