What is the name of Ezio’s hometown in Assassin’s Creed II?

Ezio’s hometown in Assassin’s Creed II is Florence.

Ezio Auditore da Firenze is introduced as a young Florentine nobleman. Florence is the location of his family home and the setting for the early part of his transformation into an Assassin. The city’s churches, palaces, markets, and rooftops provide the first major urban environment in his story.

The game later expands across Renaissance Italy. Venice becomes another major setting, while Monteriggioni serves as the Auditore family’s countryside base and headquarters. Rome is especially important in Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood, the next major chapter of Ezio’s story.

The “da Firenze” part of Ezio’s name literally identifies him with Florence. That detail helps distinguish his hometown from the other Italian locations he visits during the game.
