Assassin's Creed Pilgrimage - Tour of Monteriggioni and Siena

[@zylosk1382]

The AC 2 soundtrack just gives me chills & it’s so nostalgic. AC 2 was such a classic.

[@RafaelSantos-pi8py]

Villa Auditore isn't there anymore because the templars detroyed it. Duh! It's all Abstergo's fault.

[@dylansurendranath3091]

Rafael Santos No the real reason is because the Auditore family were never a part of the real life Renaissance period of history. The designers of Assassins Creed created Ezio and inserted him into the game to make it look like he was a part of the Renaissance.

[@RafaelSantos-pi8py]

Kryptic Chaos Are you saying Ezio Auditore never existed? Surely you must be a templar.

[@dylansurendranath3091]

Rafael Santos I dunno. Its just that other people such as Leonardo da Vinci, Cesare Borgia, Caterina Sforza, Rodrigo Borgia, Lorenzo de' Medici etc were a part of the real life Renaissance. However, I am not saying Ezio never existed in the games. Its just I am saying that Ezio never existed in real life history. I hope you understand my point now.

[@RafaelSantos-pi8py]

Kryptic Chaos SHUT UP TEMPLAR TROLL!!

[@dylansurendranath3091]

Rafael Santos Wtf is wrong with you? At least I know the entire plot of Assassin's Creed. For all I know, you're probably some fat kid who spends his time trolling for a living 24/7. Fyi, I actually have evidence to back up my point.

[@Shakamuni]

This year I finally visited Venice, Florence, St Giminiano, Siena, Monteriggioni and Roma, among other italian cities. It was my most profound desire since I played AC II back in 2012.

[@giac2586]

Bruh I live in Tuscany and yesterday I visited for the first time Firenze..

I also visited those cities in 2018!

[@22gwill]

Today I took a tour that, I kid you not, visited both Monteriggioni and San Gimignano from our place in Siena! My heart was racing and I was humming the soundtracks the whole time. I even asked the tour guide if there were tunnels beneath Monteriggioni because we all know the Assassin's cave is down there, and not only are there tunnels closed to the public, there is a secret entrance to these tunnels outside of the town walls.

[@SSSADSATAN]

Proof Ezio Auditore was real? Becouse i think i have seen in the AC2 frenchise that there is a underground base with like the armor of Altair Ibn La Ahad and stuff? Maybe he existed

[@the_kekromancer9779]

@@SSSADSATAN I hope that you are joking

[@leomedina5614]

unknown voice , I saw a video saying there is a tunnel but no one has really explored it because it’s dangerous but who knows. I strongly believe there is something we just don’t know about it.

The templars know about the cave and keep it secret

[@persepunnyofthepunderworld621]

[@Mich384]

My sister spent a few weeks in Siena two years ago to study Italian Sign Language, and one day when I was talking to her on the phone she told me that she was going on a field trip to a medieval festival in some town called "Mont... Mon-something." I jokingly suggested Monteriggioni, and she said, "Yeah, that sounds right." "Really?!" I shrieked. She was living 15 minutes away from Monteriggioni and I had no idea XD It's such a cool area, I hope I can go some day. Thank you for the great tours, this is a really interesting series :)

[@loomer]

+MichabelleW Oh nice! Yeah apparently the medieval festival in Monteriggioni is a big thing there.

[@lightsidemaster]

01:52 lol good one. I laughed quite hard ;)

Now that is a true Assassin, right there. LOL

[@raddox7]

Ppl there know about AC?

[@teseofabbri1812]

@@raddox7 probably not it's only old peole

[@triggeredravioli]

@@raddox7 Yes. I think everybody under 50 would probably know it because regularly they organize Middle Ages festivals, and probably there's something related to AC, maybe some cosplayers and events?

[@chappie3642]

@@triggeredravioli the middle ages festivals in Italy are pretty common, especially in rural areas such as these ones, it is definitely not because of assassin's creed, even though I agree most people under the age of 30 probably know of the fact that their city is in the game

[@caitlinclyne2378]

I stayed in Monteriggioni for 3 days in 2015 and saw a bunch of AC merchandise in the few shops in the town. They definitely know about it. The town is smaller than in the game but still a gorgeous place to visit!

[@voiavictor]

"The now defunct multiplayer". I died a little inside...

[@loomer]

Victor Voia yeah :(

[@assassindark89]

Loomer For me I'm kind of glad that it's gone because this means that Ubi can go back to working on the single player like AC1 and 2, however it will be miss.

[@voiavictor]

assassindark89 yeah, they work only on the single player and yet I am not impressed

[@MediQate]

Victor Voia 4 years later and you're still not missing out on anything! In fact, Ubisoft is over the historical accuracy, elegance and charm they used to implement in the AC games.. Now we get lack luster single player stories with male or female protagonists and no multiplayer.. :/ This year they're said to announce and release Assassin's Creed Ragnarok (Vikings) with 4 player co-op, magic abilities and specials..... ;/

[@ReOsLP]

I also visited Florence, Forli, San Gimignano, Venice and Monteriggioni this year and it was awesome!!! Sometimes I felt like I have the bleeding effect. I felt like being Ezio walking through those cities. And I've also been a few times in Paris. It's definatlety worth it to visit those cities. Atm I'm planning to do an AC City tour with a good friend.

[@JS-yp6sw]

I've watched several of your pilgrimage videos now and just wanted to say thanks for making these! I've always wanted to compare AC to the real life places, I'll have to visit these all in person one day.

[@robertodelorenzo6522]

Check me out on instagram tomorrow! Ill be running there! Follow: running_out_of_countries 🏃‍♂️😉

[@scottmiller7993]

Whenever you casually walked up and stood in the middle of those people talking so that you could "blend in,” made me laugh a lot! You even included the sound effect from the game.

[@sunny_ua]

I'm going to visit San Gimignano and Monteriggoni this year! Yay!

[@fullmetalu320]

Been in Monteriggioni and San Gimignano Last week, and yes, i had tears in my eyes.

[@danielsantos6437]

1:54 That was funny. I laughed so much, thank you!

[@DOSkywalkR]

Thanks, was good to see the actual town through the eyes of someone who played the game. I love all the locations in the game, even Venice. I say "even" because I've been there IRL before AC2 came out and was a bit disappointed how scaled down the piazza de san marco was in the game - but it's still beautiful (replaying currently for the thousandth time on switch).

[@plunderness]

LOL 3:18 love that blend sound

[@dmitrychernov5994]

Thanks! Go and visit San Gimignano though! You will enjoy every moment!

[@alex68acmp]

great work!

[@neterwan]

Last year I visited Rome, Venice, Florence and San Gimignano, with the latter looking just like in the old days. In each case these cities were also notable for being the locations for various films, such James Bond series, Indiana Jones, Fantomas, Roman Holiday, Tea with Moussalini and many others.

[@TheMattJames]

Just FYI, San gamigiano is possibly the most beautiful place I have ever been to

[@ErikHFilms]

I've been to Monteriggioni myslef, it was 2 years ago but it's really cool to se your pictures of it. Memories :)

0:52 I mean they literally say at the start of EVERY AC game that is is a work of fiction which isnt 100% accurate....I mean at this point you probably thought Ezio was real

Wow! thanks for all these Loomer. What was that at 1:53 :-D

[@oliverholzl8606]

San Gimignano really hasn't changed alot, was there few years ago.

[@fadidabban]

It was not explained how the Auditore Villa's relation to the residents of Mentergionni, did the citizens know that the Auditores were assassins ? Was the whole villa a coverup ? What do you think Loomer ?

[@javierrodriguezb.1653]

Fadi Daban sadly the auditore villa is an invention. The name of the real villa is Villa di Maiano and it is 65 kilometers away from Monteriggioni

[@combatbridgetsurge]

I hated the Siena multiplayer map lol The square is absolutely beautiful though. I visited Monteriggioni this summer and was really surprised to see how small it was. While I did not expect to find some kind of "Villa Auditore" there, I thought there would be something in it its place at least. Still, the view from the walls is really great :)

[@HCI1stH4rtG3il]

the villa is somewere else its called Villa di Maiano but it does exist^^

[@O.M-]

Such a shame...i wish ubisoft could at least have made ac 2, and brotherhood, co-op, like in unity, no need to kill anyone just do missions with your friends And at least if they made Napoli, Milan, Siena and Pisa, explorable and with story in Ac brotherhood

[@OblitusAquila]

I don't now how to excuse the villa, but the Cesare one can be easily explained by the manipulation of history Abstergo is trying to pull off.

[@Domingo-kg6by]

You certainly have to go again and visit San Gimignano. I've been there and it's awesome and so realistic ingame, it makes you blend. I've also been to Monterrigioni and obviously Firenze, which is one of the most beautiful cities of the world! Make sure to take some time to stay in Chianti-Area for it's fantastic wine and food.

Great job, you deserve more sub. I'm subscribe now.

This is great! I'm going to watch all of the Assassin's Creed Pilgrimage videos after finding this one. I was looking through your videos and wanted to know if you had any plans to visit New York, Boston or Albany from Assassin's Creed 3 and Rogue?

[@loomer]

Unpause I'm not sure, I get the feeling those locations wouldn't make for the best episodes compared to Italy but I'm keeping it in mind.

[@judemeler4987]

Loomer why not where Altair was in Jerusalem and the ft he was in I think it's called masyaf

[@RoubenSargsyan]

Thank you very much for the video. By the wsy can you name the song you used in here?

[@Deep42Thought]

2:45 where it is in Siena?

[@Oceaniac]

I cannot wait for your episode on Constantinople! I have been there before but I was quite young and Assassin's Creed Revelations didn't exist back then so obviously I couldn't compare at that time. Did you visit any other places in Turkey or was it just Istanbul? Also, did you go on a ship ride to see the European side and Asian side of Istanbul?

[@loomer]

JakziixRulezz Just Istanbul in Turkey sadly, and I believe we were only on the Europe side of Istanbul (where almost all the AC Revelations locations are).

[@Coscos007]

Hey Loomer, another great video! I just wanted to point out that the Villa Auditore does actually exist, it's just not in Monteriggioni, and it's actually called Villa Mangiapane. I believe that name is wrong, as I couldn't find more pics on google through that name, but you can see it through this link: www.italyweddings.com/villas/villa1.html

[@loomer]

Marcos Coscos That's so awesome, thanks for sharing! I did some googling and it looks like it's called Villa Di Maiano and it's right outside of Florence.

[@Coscos007]

Loomer Oh wow, thanks for finding out the name! I'll be going to Italy the next month and will try to find this Villa for sure :)

[@alexiapissi]

Please, when you come back tell su if you could find it, because i think i will go to Florence next year and it would be amazing to see it :)

[@alexiapissi]

Sorry for writing again, I could that you actualy can stay in the place, its like a hotel. Look on trip advisor for Fattoria Di Maiano :)

[@neighborprism6653]

Hey loomer do you think that you go back just to see San Giovanni to make the final episode for just San Giovanni?

[@diego81fer]

so cool loomer, but i think you should've chosen san giminiano instead, i think its the best "replica city" in the entire game, i mean in terms of accuracy, its almost 1/1 scale, almost, but definitely more than the other bigger cities

[@loomer]

Diego Murillo Yeah, if I could redo the schedule from scratch I would definitely make time for San Gimignano. Sadly this trip started out as just vaguely AC-related and then got more and more AC-themed and so the schedule was a little squished.

Takhar7 Hrm, you're right... "defunct" isn't quite the right word. Maybe "discontinued"? Multiplayer from old games is still online and functioning.

[@Takhar7]

Haha ok. I wasn't sure what you meant - I'm not huge on the AC multiplayer myself like many others. Great video though. Can't wait for Forli and in particular, the ACR tour. Keep it up Loomer!

[@lightsidemaster]

Takhar7 You haven't missed much. The idea and the concept of the multiplayer is good but the people destroy it by playing it like a Call of Duty game. Either that or they attack you with 4 people at once and play as cheap as possible.

[@Takhar7]

***** appreciate the response. Doesn't seem like the MP is all that fun anymore? I play it in small doses when a new AC comes out with friends, so I'm no position to comment on how great or poor it is.

[@lightsidemaster]

Takhar7 You're welcome. In my opinion it's not. ACB was still the best multiplayer of them all. People also played it like an Assassin's Creed game and not like a Call of Duty game. It's probably best to play the multiplayer with friends who know how to play it otherwise it's really frustrating. I played and enjoyed ACB's multiplayer quite a lot. I also played the other games' multiplayer to 100% ( trophies ) but not nearly as long as ACB's multiplayer.
