Paola

Paola (1438 - unknown) was the leader of the Florentine courtesans, owner of La Rosa Colta and a member of the Italian Brotherhood of Assassins.

Orphaned from an early age, Paola had known many hardships during her life, until she was finally charged with the murder of a city guard. With the help of Giovanni Auditore da Firenze, Paola managed to get out of trouble, after which she founded her brothel.

After Giovanni's death at the hands of the Templars, Paola assisted the young Ezio Auditore da Firenze multiple times, teaching him how to blend and lower his notoriety. She also renewed his contact with Leonardo da Vinci, who was able to repair his Hidden Blade.

Many years later, she was present at the claiming of the Apple of Eden from Rodrigo Borgia in Venice, along with many other Assassins that had helped Ezio during his travels.

She also played an important part during the Bonfire of the Vanities, where she and La Volpe rallied the citizens against Girolamo Savonarola, hoping to free the city of his influence.
