You get command over quite a few mercenaries and need to storm the villa where
Francesco Salviati is hiding. It won't be long starting off until you come
across the first few guards. Defeat them with your group, then proceed toward
the red marker, into the villa.

You'll find another group guarding the front gate. They're really easy to
kill since your mercenaries do a good job at distracting them, allowing you to
kill them with one blow from behind. A Brute is amongst them, but he's no sweat
when he's all that's left against all your mercenaries.

You need to open the gate. First, use throwing knives to dispatch the guards
on either side of the gate. There are some ridges you can climb up just to the
side of the gate bars. Instruct your mercenaries to wait, then climb up to the
top and you can see a lot of guys patrolling inside. If you wait for a large
group to get close, you can maybe pull off the double air assassination, which
is beyond badass.

You'll get surrounded really fast, and some of the enemies include Brutes so
find the mechanism to open the gate immediately. Sic your mercenaries on them
to even the odds.

There might be one enemy in the mix who seems out of place. He'll look like a
farmer guy and has an axe. This is your target, believe it or not, Salviati.
He's an easy kill if you go for a Disarm. Finish him and then you get a choice
between finishing the fighting or running.
