Where Rome proved to be a constant series of “wow, that actually looks like I expected it to look,” and “holy shit, I ‘remember’ that,” -style reactions, our Florence-focused leg of our continued tour of Assassin’s Creed sites (I’m only half kidding here; by my count, we’ve been to the places covered in Brotherhood, Unity …
